Among Others

Imagined AI depiction of the book "Among Others" by Jo Walton, encapsulating the essence of this hugo-2012 award winning novel.

Raised in the industrial valleys of Wales, the young Morwenna Phelps possesses significant magical abilities. Adventures with fairies and witches abound until a confrontation with her mentally unstable mother leaves Morwenna injured and her twin sister dead. To escape her mother’s magical malevolence, she runs away to her father in England. Enrolled in a boarding school, Morwenna finds solace in science fiction books and negotiates her way through adolescence, love, and the constant temptation of using her supernatural powers. Among Others is a compelling exploration of the intersection between the mundane and the magical, as well as an ode to the power of literature to provide refuge and connection. The narrative is set in a combination of Future Earth and Otherworld, as Morwenna navigates her tumultuous life both in the real world and in the realms of fantasy.
