Yet when their creaking Ford Fiesta crested the hill everyone called the Test, and her dad parked in a good spot to view the valley where the university hid, she couldn’t bring herself to look.  \nShe stared out of the side window instead, at another family who were doing the same thing as them. The mum all dressed up, out of the car right away. The dad snapping pictures of his lithe, long-limbed daughter posing in a way that said she’d expected this to happen.  \nAnd the daughter was probably right to. Families with money—they had all kinds of ways to tell if their kids would blossom into magic wielders and go on to learn how to use their abilities at universities like this one.  \nExpensive assessments, by rogue witches.  \nIllegal blood tests, by unlicensed alchemists.  \nMina had heard of them all, even through the meager grapevine a girl like her could access. But the prices had always been too high for her family to afford. All she had was the feeling of not quite belonging, formost of her life. And a hope that she finally would was burning a hole through her body.  \nJust for once, she thought.  \nThen looked through the gap between the front seats. Quick, like ripping off a blood sticky bandage. Every bit of her expecting to bleed in a big frightening rush, and then unable to fully process when something else happened instead. She simply stared at the squashed-down view she’d allowed herself.  \nThe hint of a spire, so sharp it seemed to pierce the sky. Some sense of higgledy-piggledy bricks stained by years of soot from chimneys she couldn’t quite see. A single narrow window like a dragon’s eye, winking in the dying light; a spiral of smoke tinged with a strange violet hue.  \nIt made her breath catch in her throat to see it. For a second, she couldn’t move or speak—not even when her mother tried to commiserate. Nevermind love, she said. We still think you’re something special. Then her dad reached back to pat her hand and offer her a tissue.  \nHe only stopped when she sat forward in her seat.  \nFumbling and greedy about it, every bit of her trying to get at more of that beautiful place. To seize more of it, now that she knew it could be hers. She was about to walk those halls, and live among real witches and wizards, and learn those magical lessons. And that meant it was okay now to let herself enjoy the view.  \nBut as she went to drink it in, the view was abruptly obscured. One second there was that beautiful, sprawling building surrounded by trees and rolling greenery and grounds too extensive to follow.  \nThe next, there was him.  \nJust him, strolling up to their car in a way that quickly devoured everything she most wanted to see. She watched his broad shoulders swallow the hedge maze by the fountain, and the lake that looped around the easternmost wing. Then his height stole the turrets, the towers, the most fairy-tale parts.  \nUntil finally he stood there, filling the glass.  \nFace almost turned into a silhouette by the sun behind him. Most of him nothing more than an impression—of messy, thick, dark hair; beautiful bones; blazing","cbCaikOz0Amzl9jQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikOz0Amzl9jQ","pdf",3235099,266,"English","# Prologue\n# Chapter One\n# Chapter Two\n# Chapter Three\n# Chapter Four\n# Chapter Five\n# Chapter Six\n# Chapter Seven\n# Chapter Eight\n# Chapter Nine\n# Chapter Ten\n# Chapter Eleven\n# Chapter Twelve\n# Chapter Thirteen\n# Chapter Fourteen\n# Chapter Fifteen\n# Chapter Sixteen\n# Chapter Seventeen\n# Chapter Eighteen\n# Chapter Nineteen\n# Chapter Twenty\n# Chapter Twenty-One\n# Chapter Twenty-Two\n# Chapter Twenty-Three\n# Chapter Twenty-Four\n# Chapter Twenty-Five\n# Chapter Twenty-Six\n# Chapter Twenty-Seven\n# Chapter Twenty-Eight\n# Chapter Twenty-Nine\n# Chapter Thirty\n# Epilogue","[{\"question\":\"Why can only some people see Harrowhall?\",\"answer\":\"The rule is that only people with magic in them can see Harrowhall, including during the viewing from the hill.\"},{\"question\":\"What pressures and risks surround learning who has magic?\",\"answer\":\"Families with money use expensive assessments, while others rely on illegal blood tests and rogue witches or unlicensed alchemists to detect magic.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the mysterious boy affect Mina’s belief about belonging?\",\"answer\":\"He abruptly obscures Mina’s view and later makes it clear—through his actions and the words she perceives—that she will never belong there, complicating her arrival and hopes.\"}]","An Education in Longing - Charlotte Stein | PDF",410]
