Leon stole my heart the instant he was introduced. One character in particular I loved was Leon. When they are sent away we meet a cast of characters that are all different in their own ways. As well as the fear that Raya lives with.Įventually the girls are found out and are sent away. The way Brynne depicts it, I can really feel the hate and unease the community feels. She grew up in an environment where homosexuality is thought of as a sickness, something that can be fixed. Plus the feelings of being abandoned by her mother and the struggle of wanting to be accepted by her grandmother, even when she knows that that will never happen. The fear she feels, of being outed and disappearing like thought before her. Our main character is Raya, depicts moments in her life where she comes to terms of her sexuality. I found her writing to be fluid and I found it easy to follow. Brynne is an award winning poet, now I haven’t read any of her poetry, but I can say that for her debut novel I can tell that she has experience. Orpheus Girl is a re-imagining of the epic of Orpheus but between to teen girls in rural Texas. This is a debut novel by Brynne Rebele-Henry. I received an Arc from Soho Teen via Net Galley, my thoughts and opinions are my own.
