Publisher's Synopsis
Fans of Sarah Perry's The Essex Serpent will enjoy Grigg's historical novel with fantastical elements. Griggs is well known for her playfulness of language, and has been called "Robertson Davies on speed" for her raucous but intelligent humor. Grigg's is one of the best readers/storytellers we have. Audiences at her events are always captivated and often want her to read more because she has such a great sense of timing and humor. Griggs was awarded the Marian Engel Award for a distinguished body of work in 2003, and she has been shortlisted for the Governor General's Award
