Lovely

This is a beautiful story. It's now one of my very favorite books. This is a story that will fascinate any reader. I read it in one sitting.

A sensitive, moving tale

Jack Plum was born disfigured and labeled a monster by an abusive mother - but he's created a haven in his cellar, shared with his beloved pet pigs - and is happy until he meets neighbor Holly, who changes his world for the better until the outside intervenes. A sensitive, moving tale of a sheltered boy's entry into a non-abusive world will attract a wide range of leisure readers.

Wonderous!

Fitzgerald creates a world into which the reader is quickly drawn. The syntax and unique perspectives of Jack's parlance are thoroughly engaging, requiring a bit of work on the part of the reader, but it is definitely worth the effort. You know where this story is going, but can't help hoping for a miracle. I felt quiet when I finished reading the story. I highly recommend this novel.

Hailed as a "tour de force" (Los Angeles Times) and a "surprisingly sweet story" (Entertainment Weekly), Kitty Fitzgerald's Pigtopia is a spellbinding debut, featuring one of the most singular characters to come along since Christopher Boone in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.Society has rejected Jack Plum. Born with a disfigurement, he is labeled either a monster or an imbecile by his abusive mother and thoughtless neighbors. But Jack has created a haven, his "pigtopia," a shelter where Jack hides from the world with his beloved pet pigs. Then Jack meets Holly Lock, a sensitive young teenager who lives nearby, and offers her a piglet. Together they forge an unlikely and beautiful friendship, until society and fate intervene and Jack's secret world is threatened by forces beyond his control.In language of stunning beauty, Kitty Fitzgerald has created a startling original world with characters that will capture your imagination and your heart.
