Description
In her inspired re-working of the fairy-tale Snow White and Rose Red Margo Lanagan has created characters that are vivid, passionate, flawed and fiercely devoted to their hearts’ desires, whether these desires are good or evil. It is the story of two worlds – one real, one magical – and how, despite the safe haven her magical world offers to those who have suffered, her characters can never turn their backs on the real world, with all its beauty and brutality. Tender Morsels is an astonishing novel, fraught with the tension between love and horror, violence and tenderness, despair and hope.

Tender Morsels…is funny, tragic, wise, tender and beautifully written. It also left me gasping with shock…It is with a mixture of respect and delight that I greet any book capable of blasting an entire genre out of the water with its audacity and grace. Tender Morsels is such a book |

Other text | A work of genius, with richly inventive language and a brilliantly imagined fairy tale context… the brutal moments are woeven in like dark threads in a rich and complex tapestry |
