Newford: where magic lights dark streets; where myths walk clothed in modern shapes; where a broad cast of extraordinary and affecting people work to keep the whole world turning. <p/>At the center of all the entwined lives in Newford stands a young artist named Jilly Coppercorn, with her tangled hair, her paint-splattered jeans, a smile perpetually on her lips--Jilly, whose paintings capture the hidden beings that dwell in the city's shadows. Now, at last, de Lint tells Jilly's own story...for behind the painter's fey charm lies a dark secret and a past she's labored to forget. And that past is coming to claim her now. <p/>I'm the onion girl, Jilly Coppercorn says. Pull back the layers of my life, and you won't find anything at the core. Just a broken child. A hollow girl. She's very, very good at running. But life has just forced Jilly to stop.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"De Lint is a romantic; he believes in the great things, faith, hope, and charity (especially if love is included in that last), but he also believes in the power of magic-or at least the magic of fiction-to open our eyes to a larger world." --<i>Edmonton Journal</i> <p/>"In de Lint's capable hands, modern fantasy becomes something other than escapism. It becomes folk song, the stuff of urban myth." --<i>The Phoenix Gazette</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Charles de Lint</b> pioneered the urban fantasy genre with critically acclaimed novels and stories set in and around the imaginary modern North American city of Newford: <i>The Onion Girl</i>, <i>Moonheart</i>, <i>The Ivory and the Horn</i>, and the collection <i>Moonlight and Vines</i>, for which he won the World Fantasy Award.
