In an Absent Dream tells the story of Katherine Lundy. Each novella has explored one of the perhaps uncountable number of possible portal worlds. With Every Heart a Doorway ( my review), Seanan McGuire introduced readers to the idea of doorways and the portal worlds in which these children more truly belonged. At some point everybody at Eleanor West's went through a doorway, had an adventure, lived a life in a world that isn't our own but which is also so much better suited for who they truly were, and then come home and had to figure out how to cope with living a mundane life in a world they don't truly belong. Each novella of the Wayward Children series has told the story of one (or more) of the children at Eleanor West's School for Wayward Children, though perhaps "children" is the wrong word to use here.
