I think the aspect of this book that I emotionally connected with most were the reflections on how chronic illness affects relationships, in this case Adam’s multiple sclerosis and how it influences his relationship with Zayneb. Ali makes very clear from the start, this story is one to challenge all those romantic tales that end with the wedding she wants to show us – in all its messy ups and downs – what comes next! For reasons I will explain, I am dividing my thoughts on this book into two parts: emotional and academic. Ali, sequel to the hugely popular Love from A to Z, returns us to the lives of Adam and Zayneb, now married but living apart as they try to build their professional and educational careers while maintaining their relationship.

And then one day Jacob makes a mistake, and his brother follows him into Mirrorworld. When Jacob discovers the hidden world behind the mirror in their father’s locked study, he disappears for longer and longer periods of time, disregarding his younger brother’s loneliness and his mother’s declining health. Will and Jacob Reckless grew up with an absent father, and a mother unable to cope. I have a lot of feelings, especially about fairy tales and their tropes. But I picked them up because I went to an event with Cornelia Funke, and after hearing her talk about them, I was intrigued. And then I thought way too much about everything that’s going on in this book, and wrote something which probably can’t even be called a review any more. They were based on fairy tales, which I’d read a million times before. I originally thought that the Reckless series wasn’t for me – they were apparently children’s books, which I haven’t been able to get into for years.

As for the sheep themselves, Horacek has concocted simply lined happy animals, whose wool is indicated by dozens of curlicues. In this neat and satisfying wedding of text and art, the squat, square format uses wool-white backgrounds to display much of the amusing pen-and-watercolor pictures.
