Below is the description of a book I mistakenly guessed from the title "Uprooted" alone was the choice for April. I save it here because of the rather impressive literary awards it has achieved, although this genre of fantasy is not among my usual readings:

Uprooted by Naomi Novik
Hardcover, 435 pages
Published May 19th 2015 by Del Rey
Hugo Award Nominee for Best Novel (2016), Nebula Award for Best Novel (2015), Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel (2016), World Fantasy Award Nominee for Best Novel (2016), Mythopoeic Fantasy Award for Adult Literature (2016)
British Fantasy Award for Best Fantasy Novel (the Robert Holdstock Award) (2016), Goodreads Choice Award Nominee for Young Adult Fantasy & Science Fiction (2015) .
