If I had to nominate a worthy successor to Angela Carter, I would nominate Kelly Barnhill. Laura Ruby, two-time National Book Award finalist and author of Bone Gap


A slim little novella that packs a narrative punch more intense than that of many books ten times its length.NPR

Award-winning author Kelly Barnhill brings her singular talents to The Crane Husband, a raw, powerful story of love, sacrifice, and family.

Mothers fly away like migrating birds. This is why farmers have daughters.

A fifteen-year-old teenager is the backbone of her small Midwestern family, budgeting the household finances and raising her younger brother while her mom, a talented artist, weaves beautiful tapestries. For six years, it's been just the three of themher mom has brought home guests at times, but none have ever stayed.
