And if she were to ever speak a word to anyone, one of her brothers would die. ![]() A magical bowl expands over her head, hiding her face from the world and stifling her magic. Her six brothers are turned into cranes, and Shiori is cursed with anonymity. ![]() Unfortunately, Shiori’s curiosity leads her to discover a secret about Raikama as well, and it seals a terrible fate for her family. Now confined to the palace as punishment, Shiori believes her abilities remain a secret, but her mysterious stepmother Raikama sees all. As the doors open to her wedding ceremony, Shiori flees to conceal her magic, ruining the alliance and ultimately shaming both families. Shiori is a princess of Kiata and has been promised to marry a northern warlord. But I couldn’t stop the urge to pick up Six Crimson Cranes and I find myself yet again in awe of Lim’s storytelling. I really enjoyed her book, Spin the Dawn, and need to finish the duology. Not only do her books feature the most beautiful cover art I’ve ever seen (courtesy of talented artist Tran Nguyen ), but her storytelling is delicately woven with such care that it’s too precious to describe. Elizabeth Lim is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. ![]() ![]() ![]() He’d apparently found the time to change out of the improvised toga and into perfectly respectable attire.

Madame Lefoux pursed her lips and turned the infant about, as though she hadn’t quite looked closely before. “Goodness,” said an exhausted Lady Maccon, “are babies customarily that repulsive looking?” When the infant finally appeared, she held it up for Alexia to see, rather proudly as though she’d done all the hard work herself. In her scientific way, she was unexpectedly adept at the job. ![]() ![]() ![]() Best sellers and never out of print, the published volumes, Leaves from the Journal of Our Life in the Highlands and More Leaves, are being newly edited for Oxford World's Classics.

Her novel “March” (2005) explored the life of the mostly absent father from Louisa May Alcott’s “Little Women,” a chaplain for the Union Army during the Civil War. Valuable legacies can disappear, is the underlying message - for years, this celebrity thoroughbred’s skeleton languished at the Smithsonian, shoved in an attic and marked only equus caballus - even as barbaric ones linger.Ī wide-ranging practitioner of historical fiction and adventuresome journalism, Brooks has visited the rocky terrain of race before. The subtext, if not the subtitle, is “Race.” Not for the contests Lexington won, though those are recreated in detail suitable for both the sports and society pages, but for the book’s confrontation of relations between Black and white people over the course of two centuries. ![]() ![]() ![]() The title of Geraldine Brooks’s new novel, “Horse,” alludes to Lexington: the real and extraordinary late-19th-century Kentucky bay stallion who drives its plot. ![]() ![]() ![]() Reading them now is both convalescent and critically galvanizing, offering dreamy holiday-tinged nostalgia with one hand while also raising urgent questions about good and evil in our perilous present. And as it turns out, the titular novel and the other four books in the sequence are also spot-on selections for this winter in particular, the Winter of Dystopia 2017 CE. Frigid, familiar, spooky - it was a spot-on choice for a holiday read that wasn’t “merry” at all. I read The Dark is Rising years ago, and although its plot details had faded, I remembered its cataclysmic snowstorm, among other wintery elements. The right book always seems to find me, and did so again earlier this month, when I learned through Twitter of a virtual book club, #TheDarkIsReading, dedicated to Susan Cooper’s beloved novel, The Dark Is Rising. For me, reading about winter thus became an essential and compulsory corrective to the still-green outdoors as the holidays approached. When you grow up in Florida, like I did, weirdness is plentiful but winter is scarce. ![]() Sign up for our newsletter to get submission announcements and stay on top of our best work. ![]() ![]() A clear gap between the privileged and unprivileged.
