This is the cover illustration for Just Like A Fairy Tale by Sophia Babai, published by Luna Brillante. In this scene Anima, the main character, is set apart from the others. She wears a bloody hospital gown and hugs herself for warmth, though it is not cold out. Sad and confused by the half-memories that tease her, she walks away from a restaurant known as Eva After. It is a place filled with the warm smells of cooking and the chatter of people. The only one who welcomes her, Eva (a young Iraqi refugee) stands waving while the shadowy figures of two men intertwined in Anima's life story remain stoically closed to her. And, no, the mango is not random.
