The Careful Undressing of Love

(2) YA Rumors of a curse on the Devonairre Street Girls circulate in Haydu's alternate-2008 Brooklyn. When a series of tragedies convinces the street's inhabitants that the Curse is real, narrator Lorna and her mother resist their neighbors' increasingly cultish mentality, building to a devastating conclusion. Magical realism and a parallel-world setting enhance this wrenching novel's lyricism--and make the pain somewhat more bearable.
