I loved The Moorchild. It made the fairy world so believeable, so real. And the interaction between Saaski and her human parents is just--as you say--heartbreaking. They love her for who she is, in their way, even as they're wishing for a more human-like daughter. And her sense of out-of-placeness in *both* places is so real and so sad, and the way she struggles on is nothing short of heroic. I was glad she found a friend in the end.
