A Single Stone

by Meg McKinlay

Every girl dreams of being part of the line - the chosen seven who tunnel deep into the mountain to find the harvest. No work is more important. Jena is the leader of the line - strong, respected, reliable. And - as all girls must be - she is small; her years of training have seen to that. It is not always easy but it is the way of the things. And so a girl must wrap her limbs, lie still, deny herself a second bowl of stew. Or a first. But what happens when one tiny discovery makes Jena question everything she has ever known? What happens when moving a single stone changes everything?

I enjoyed the concept, a quick and entertaining read but sadly, not for me. I felt the emphasis on emaciated bodies and malnourished young women should have been addressed, especially given the intended age of readers.

Review to come.
