Sara Moore Wagner's Swan Wife toggles between the world of fairy tales and the world we live in, both of which are gruesome and tender, beautiful and dangerous. --Maggie Smith, author of Goldenrod
By delving into myths--of marriage, of motherhood, of the fairytales fed to us and which we feed in turn to our children--whether it's wife as Circe or swan or an August morning, or husband as kingfisher or a serpent in the garden, Swan Wife moves past fable into the difficult, often more surreal truths of daily domestic life. Lyric and sensual, feminist and vulnerable, Sara Moore Wagner makes the hero's journey her own, reveling in the transformations possible through deeper self-knowledge and the ensuing ability to express your desires. --Jessica Jacobs
