The Brides of Rollrock |
Margo Lanagan is not an author to be trifled with. Her novels - and short stories - draw on fairy tales in all their original grimness. In this her latest novel she takes the story of the selkie wife - the bride taken from the sea - and explores the possible motives and consequences for a community in such a situation. Disturbing, haunting, clever - this is real writing for teens (and adults). (Ferelith Hordon - bwl 64 Spring 2012) |
