Picture
​Sylvie is new to the school. Her old-school clothes and head in the clouds demeanor make her an easy target for boys like Tommy Payne and his gang.  George knows what Tommy will do to a girl like Sylvie.  When George intervenes on Tommy's attack of Sylvie the pair become fast friends.  Sylvie accepts George with all her quirks and faults.  George accepts Sylvie's strange gift of knowing the background of the antiques at her father's shop with a simple touch.  As life moves on, Sylvie goes to University far away.  George stays and works in the antique shop waiting to desperately rekindle the feelings that they shared in school.

The Attic Tragedy is a short story about friendship and how it changes us over time.  The unique elements of Sylvie's gift brought me into the story, but isn't the main focus.  I would love to have a gift like that, to know the history of objects with a touch.  The stories Sylvie shared were amazing whether they were sweet, heartbreaking or silly. Since this is a short story, the timeline moves quickly and the characters are carved out along the way.  I do wish there was more information about Sylive's gift and George's background.  The real focus, however, is on the value of friendship and how it affects us, even if the friendship changes.  Overall, a unique story with elements of the paranormal and acceptance.

This book was received for free in return for an honest review.
