Critics Review
Engaging, modern fables with a feminist tang * Sunday Times *
A thoroughly original package that had a hint of Angela Carter * The Times T2 *
Sharp writing and cleverly done * Spectator *
Relevant and intriguing * New Statesman *
It’s easy to get lost in the stories from diverse voices * Guardian *
Simply and beautifully executed * Observer *
Freshly feminist * Times Literary Supplement *
Leaves the reader yearning to believe in the redemptive power of magic * Irish Times *
Vivid, perceptive. At the heart of each mystical story is a woman, who, often on the cusp of a new beginning, remains haunted by traumas from her past. * New Statesman *
Hag swarms with mermaids, boggarts and shape-shifters but it also explores the hopes and visceral dreads from which those creatures emerged in the human imagination. Daisy Johnson’s wittily disquieting take on The Green Children of Woolpit is a masterclass. * Glasgow Herald *
