The Onion Girl
''The Onion Girl'' is a 2001 contemporary fantasy novel by Charles De Lint which takes place in the Newford universe. It is the first Newford novel centering on the recurring character of Jilly Coppercorn, now a middle-aged woman. The book was a finalist for the World Fantasy Award.〔http://www.worldfantasy.org/awards/awardslist.html〕 De Lint published a sequel in 2006, ''Widdershins'', and a 2007 prequel ''Promises to Keep'', the latter of which featured Jilly as a young woman.
==Background and origin==
De Lint has said that he had intended to write a novel about Jilly for years, but he had put it off because he didn't relish writing about the child abuse and other nasty experiences Jilly would endure. Still, he made sure to maintain the theme of "how the same traumatic event could so differently affect people who have come up out of the same environment."〔http://www.scifi.com/sfw/interviews/sfw8286.html〕
De Lint explains the title as follows: "Writing, for me, is a peeling back of layers, particularly with the Newford stories. The more I write about the city of Newford, the more I find hidden below the surface. In that sense, perhaps the city itself should be the Onion Girl. But the heart and soul of Newford has always been Jilly, her layers are as open on the outside as the bright neon lights and cheerful facades of stores and houses, but also as hidden within as what lies underground or secreted away behind closed doors."〔http://www.sfsite.com/charlesdelint/onion-desc01.htm〕
