The curse can be broken only by the completion of three impossible tasks. The Scarborough curse binds each daughter of the family to a cruel faerie lord, Padraig, and each generation repeats the cycle of bearing a daughter, abandoning the daughter in the human world as she is condemned to Faerie, and then witnessing the enslavement of that daughter 18 years later. In Impossible, we meet Lucy, the latest in a long line of women in the Scarborough family, doomed by a faerie curse that’s been passed down over the generations for four hundred years. Given how much I loved those two books, I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised to have enjoyed Unthinkable as much as I did. Unthinkable takes place in the same world as Nancy Werlin’s previous novels Impossible and Extraordinary. But will human love triumph over faerie tricks? In this young adult novel, faerie curses have a huge impact on the lives of a human family.
