I signed up here in order to reply. DWJ has been a favourite author for me all my reading life. Borrowing her books from the library as a child is what got me hooked on reading. Her novel Fire and Hemlock remains one of my all time favourites, subtle and deep, magical and mythical. I reread it recently for the first time in many years and it holds up so well. I'd recommend it to anyone (and often do).
