A dark fairytale, full of witchcraft, where nothing is as it seems
Once upon a time there was and there wasn't a woman who went to the woods.
In this dark fairy tale, a young woman sets off to pick berries in the depths of the forest, but can't find her way home again. Or perhaps she has fled or abandoned her family. Or perhaps she's been kidnapped, and set loose to wander in the wilderness. Alone and possibly lost, she meets another woman who offers her help. Then everything changes.
On a journey that will take her to the depths of the witch-haunted woods, through a deep well wet with the screams of men, and on a living ship made of human bones, our heroine may find that the evil she flees has been inside her all along.

    for there are things in this world that you think will never come to pass that will rob you of your voice for nothing but the joy of them when suddenly they do
  • Habitante de librohas quoted3 years ago
    It is one of the oddest things about the world, that it wants constantly to drop something onto you, some small reminder of itself, branch or stone or seed or dust.
