(3) YA This conclusion to the magical realism trilogy (All Our Pretty Songs; Dirty Wings) follows Aurora's precocious daughter Tally on a trip to find the guitarist Jack, who might be her father. Tally's erudite first-person narration dovetails strangely and marvelously with the Jason and the Argonauts–inspired events of her trip and her passionate, unmooring affair with Maddy, a magnetic loner reminiscent of Medea.
