The Firefly Letters by Margarita Engle

A historical novel told in multiple perspectives in free verse.  Read it in an hour and learned so much.
Part history, part fictionalized this story brought alive with facts, emotions a little known important person in history.  Crafted with thought and care, this work is solid and expressive.  I want fireflies lighting my way at night also.
