The kudos for Aussie author Margo Lanagan just keep coming and coming.
Her latest novel, Tender Morsels, just got onto the American School Library Journal’s list of best books for 2008. And boy is she in good company. Big hitters like Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman and Philip Reeve also made the cut.
They descibe Lanagan’s book as a “powerful and lyrical novel, a reworking of the Grimm Brothers’ “Snow White and Rose-Red,” explores the good, the bad, and the ugly aspects of human behavior and the lengths to which a woman is willing to go to protect her daughters from the devastating emotional traumas to which she was subjected. A complex and multilayered fantasy spun by a superlative storyteller.”
This book explores some pretty dark places so it is definately for readers over 15.
