Love was a leap of faith”. “Love made life rich”.These sentiments underpin Kat Dunn’s fairy tale infused Bitterthorn,a brilliantly spun Sapphic love story that evokes elements of Beauty and the Beast, Rapunzel, Rumpelstiltskin and Sleeping Beauty to create an edge-of-your- seat, original story that throngs with longing.

I swapped my elastic-sided Garibaldi boots for a pair of battered Balmorals and was ready to set off, swathed in scarf and hat against the frost. I looked at my delicate stitches, the rough texture of the tree bark and the velvety fungi. ‘I like it.’ There is so much I loved — stony Wolf and her resilience, the quiet small acts of kindness between Mina and the Witch as they try and find a way to be, the mystery of the castle. And so much rattled my bones, dragged tears from me. I truly mean it when I say this is automatically one of my favourite books. A queer haunting of a story about loneliness, loss, and love that has lodged itself firmly in my head and my heart. a b " Solanum incanum". Germplasm Resources Information Network.

And when you come in you don’t say hello properly.’ I knelt where her name was carved into the lid. She deserved to be remembered more than any of the men the Witch had taken.

But my words dried up. I remembered, instead, my mother’s face peering under tables and behind curtains, looking for me. We had been playing a game, but I had hidden too well. I was hungry and ached from folding myself tightly into the gap between a settle and an armoire and the light had turned cold with dusk. I wanted the game to be over, but my mother had not found me yet. I wanted her to find me more. Mina, daughter of the duke, is grieving and lonely. She has lost all hope of any future for herself in Blumwald. So when the Witch demands her next companion, Mina offers herself up – though she has no idea what fate awaits her. Stranded with her darkly alluring captor, the mystery of what happened to the previous companions draws Mina into the heart of a terrifying secret that could save her life, or end it. EXTRACT i really enjoyed this one! it felt like a retelling of a mix of various different fairytales (cinderella, rumplestiltskin, beauty & the beast) but in a wholly original way, too. our main character is a girl called mina, who doesn’t feel like she belongs in her home with her father and stepmother. every fifty years, a man in their town is taken as a companion for ‘the witch’, a nebulous villain who lives in a mysterious castle away from the village. this time, instead of a man, mina offers herself as the sacrifice. She looked over my mud-stained appearance with thinned lips. ‘Are you planning to join us once you have made yourself presentable?’ Before getting married off, Elora is determined to have one last adventure. She sneaks out to climb a tree and is met with a magical dryad who asks for help.Already well versed in entertaining myself, in womanhood I never thought to do anything but continue along the same path. If the palace that had been my home was now the domain of my stepmother, I would look beyond for something of my own – and found it in the trees outside each window, the mountains that ringed our capital city of Blumwald, in the pebbly river that churned wild in spring with snowmelt and froze solid enough to skate on in winter. I found home in the crags and branches, in birdsong and my own ragged breath as I walked and walked. I felt power in my independence: far, far safer to be alone than to want and be unwanted.
