And this story is told over the course of one night when she leaves through the window with Peter Pan himself because of a promise of a party, but she soon realizes that Peter did not walk out of the pages of a fairytale. Wendy has recently moved to Chicago, but when moving into her new bedroom she realizes the window is broken and unable to stay closed. Darling is a modern day thriller reimagining of Peter Pan with a very diverse cast our main character is Black and we have a very full cast of side characters side characters of color (Black, Korean, and Ojibwe), who are queer (lesbian rep, ace rep, bi rep, and a really beautiful Chicago drag scene moment that I could gush about forever), and disabilities (hearing impairment & amputated hand). Her prose and craft are so unique and so smart and every book by her feels like something of magic. Ancrum is truly just a once in a lifetime author.
