“Survival of a great loss is the fulcrum of this fascinating, reflective memoir. An unforgettable, very moving book.” —Susan Cooper author of The Dark is Rising

“Anyone who loves language and loves reading, and anyone who has loved and lost and mourned, will cling like a (probably weeping) limpet to the gorgeous rock of this memoir. It’s an unforgettable book-- its own kind of miracle.” —Bill Richardson, author of The Bachelor Brothers’ Bed and Breakfast

“An exquisitely written, brave, and honest depiction of a surreal time that ended with a loved one dying through medically assisted death. The searing sadness is balanced by erudite and often amusing asides into the worlds of fairies, language, stories, and play. What shines through is Sarah Ellis's loving respect for her wife's decision.” -- Kit Pearson C.M. Winner of the 2025 George Woodcock Lifetime Achievement Award

“Sparely, with severe and tender honesty, My Year in Fairyland recounts several journeys… through love, through childhood, through death and grief…. A reader feels to be a discreet and ghostly presence at the necessary bedside, and grateful for the honor.” —Gregory Maguire author of Wicked
