“Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme that was created by Breaking the Spine. Every Wednesday we get to highlight a book that we’re really looking forward to. My book this week is : A Pocketful of Crows by Joanne M. Harris
I am as brown as brown can be,
And my eyes as black as sloe;
I am as brisk as brisk can be,
And wild as forest doe.
(The Child Ballads, 295)
So begins a beautiful tale of love, loss and revenge. Following the seasons, A Pocketful of Crows balances youth and age, wisdom and passion and draws on nature and folklore to weave a stunning modern mythology around a nameless wild girl.
Only love could draw her into the world of named, tamed things. And it seems only revenge will be powerful enough to let her escape.
Beautifully illustrated by (TBC), this is a stunning and original modern fairytale.
What a stunning cover and the description sounds like something I would love. Due for release October 2017
