Produktbeschreibung

Locus Recommended Reading List

Open this book to any page and find yourself enspelled by these lush, alchemical stories. Faced with the uncanny and the impossible, Rickert's protagonists are as painfully, shockingly, complexly human as the readers who will encounter them. Mothers, daughters, witches, artists, strangers, winged babies, and others grapple with deception, loss, and moments of extraordinary joy.

Praise for Mary Rickert's books:

"The Memory Garden is a lovely book of women, friendship, sadness and healing, and it is genuinely uplifting. Like the garden of its title, this is a book to take in slowly, to spend time in, to wander through; you'll likely find your-selves the better for it."- NPR

"This is a novel haunted by mortality-with people who died young, with people now old and dying, with ghosts. But it is often a joyful novel, a novel of life, forgiveness and good meals with friends and strangers."-Los Angeles Review of Books

"I've seldom read a book as gentle, and yet as powerful."- io9.com

"Rickert writes with a blend of poetical language and dark suspense."-The Washington Post

"A poet of the extremes housed within the human heart."-Locus
