[ permanent dead link] The long and winding name of this assertive debut matches the magnitude of the stories within, which draw on folklore to capture the dynamic between two sisters, Zora and Sasha Porter. Their mother’s illness and their father’s violence has fractured their relationship, but their bond is reforged as an old family secret—and a surrounding cache of remarkable tales—roars to the surface." — Elle, A Most Anticipated Title of the Year

By the time you finish reading this I will be dead and you, dear reader, will have forgotten all about me. Vivid and otherworldly, this masterfully told novel brings together many threads of family history, personal memory, collective choices, sexuality, and a realm of mysteries and mythic creatures with deep origins and powers . . . A striking and imaginative debut.”— BooklistSP: Right now, I work with survivors who are being charged for resisting abuse in their relationships, so self-defense and things like that. We do advocacy and emotional support and trainings for other organizations that might interact with survivors but not know it, and criminalized survivors in particular. In some ways, it’s very different, but then also social work is a lot about human connection and hearing people’s stories, and sometimes the most that you can do for people is to show you’re there for them. It’s not always the concrete changes in terms of advocacy because that can be such an uphill battle. And of course, both are in the gender-based violence world that impacts so many of us. Rebuffed by William Thiselton-Dyer, the Director at Kew, because of her sex and her amateur status, Potter wrote up her conclusions and submitted a paper, On the Germination of the Spores of the Agaricineae, to the Linnean Society in 1897. It was introduced by Massee because, as a woman, Potter could not attend proceedings or read her paper. She subsequently withdrew it, realising that some of her samples were contaminated, but continued her microscopic studies for several more years. Her paper has only recently been rediscovered [ citation needed], along with the rich, artistic illustrations and drawings that accompanied it. Her work is only now being properly evaluated. [39] [40] [41] Potter later gave her other mycological and scientific drawings to the Armitt Museum and Library in Ambleside, where mycologists still refer to them to identify fungi. There is also a collection of her fungus paintings at the Perth Museum and Art Gallery in Perth, Scotland, donated by Charles McIntosh. In 1967, the mycologist W. P. K. Findlay included many of Potter's beautifully accurate fungus drawings in his Wayside & Woodland Fungi, thereby fulfilling her desire to one day have her fungus drawings published in a book. [42] In 1997, the Linnean Society issued a posthumous apology to Potter for the sexism displayed in its handling of her research. [43] Artistic and literary career [ edit ] First edition, 1902
