#23: Amal El-Mohtar, The River Has Roots
I almost missed this because my library shelved it under General Fiction instead of Fantasy, but I'm so glad I stumbled across it. A particularly lyrical and creative retelling of a familiar fairy tale (or perhaps folk ballad is more accurate) centered on two sisters who live near the border of Faerie.
