Tender Morselsby Margo Lanagan
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Tender Morsels is a dark and vivid story, set in two worlds and worrying at the border between them. Liga lives modestly in her own personal heaven, a world given to her in exchange for her earthly life. Her two daughters grow up in this soft place, protected from the violence that once harmed their mother. But the real world cannot be denied forever — magicked men and wild bears break down the borders of Liga's refuge. Now, having known Heaven, how will these three women survive in a world where beauty and brutality lie side by side? From Our Staff:Fans of fairy-tale retellings will be especially delighted with this dark, rich, and vivid offering from acclaimed Australian novelist Margo Lanagan. Noted for the poetry of her prose and highly imaginative story lines, Ms. Lanagan has once again penned an unforgettable novel. Review:"Lanagan creates a rich and complex world, packed with fully realized characters. Her writing is so beautiful that even the most brutal and painful scenes are not graphic or sordid but heartbreaking....This book is one that will stay with the reader for a long time." VOYA Review:"By turns horrifying and ribald, witty and wise, this tour de force of a novel almost demands multiple readings to fully appreciate each of its layers. Not to be missed." Kirkus Reviews Review:"[T]his challenging, unforgettable work explores the ramifications of denying the most essential and often savage aspects of life. It isn't easy, but this book is nevertheless a marvel to read." Booklist Review:"Lanagan offers up difficult truths — and complicated, human characters — that are as sobering as they are triumphant." Horn Book Magazine Synopsis:Lanagan delivers a dark and vivid story, set in two worlds and worrying at the border between them. How will three women survive in a world where beauty and brutality lie side by side?
