Mockingbird

Mockingbird is more of a character-driven story of female relationships and identity than a fantasy, though magic does play a seemingly natural role in the characters' lives. It is a slow-paced novel that follows Toni Beauchamp's life in the wake of her mother's death, as she passes through the journey "from being a daughter to having one". Toni plans for her future to be organized and stable, in contrast to her mother's magic and unreliability, but life has other plans. I think the novel relies heavily on a reader's investment in the characters, and I was very easily emotionally invested in Toni. This is not my usual style of novel, but I'm glad I decided to read it.
