SUMMARY:The October Book Club - A Sorceress Comes To Call by T. Kingfisher
DESCRIPTION:Join us on October 21st at 7PM ET to discuss T. Kingfisher’s A Sorceress Comes to Call\, which is one of the best fairy-tale retellings we’ve read in the last several years. And it’s a “Goose Girl” retelling\, which is very rare to see in a novel-length retelling! \nThe vibe is Regency-romance setting but make it Gothic horror and also hilarious? We honestly don’t know how she does it. \nHere’s the starred review from Publishers Weekly: “With this riff on the Brothers Grimm’s “The Goose Girl\,” set in a fantasy world inspired by Regency romances\, Hugo Award winner Kingfisher (Nettle & Bone) continues her hot streak of deeply compassionate\, thrilling\, and often laugh-out-loud fairy tale retellings. Cordelia\, 14\, grows up in a house without closed doors. Her mother\, Evangeline\, is a dangerous enchantress who regularly compels her into total obedience. The first time Cordelia’s allowed some privacy is when Evangeline moves them into the home of her suitor\, Squire Samuel Chatham—a home Evangeline means to seize and remake to her specifications by whatever means necessary. The Squire’s sister\, Lady Hester\, feels an awful presentiment of doom and is on the defensive around Evangeline\, but only Cordelia knows the true\, murderous extent of her mother’s powers. Can Cordelia speak up against a mother who controls her so completely? Would Hester even believe her if she did? The dual narrators—terrified fish-out-of-water Cordelia and tenaciously sensible Hester—are nuanced\, distinctive\, and frequently funny. Kingfisher’s remarkable skill for crafting scene-stealing secondary characters is also on full display in ruthless cardsharp Imogen Strauss\, über-competent butler Willard\, merry widow Penelope Green\, and the mysteriously magical horse Falada. Expertly blending humor with folkloric horror\, this incredibly satisfying fantasy will delight Kingfisher’s fans and newcomers alike.” \nContent warning for parental abuse\, murder most fowl\, and creepy horses. \nWe hope you sign up for this one! It’s a spectacular book and perfect for the month of Halloween. To join us\, make sure you’re on the $7+ tier on our Patreon for October!
