In the tradition of modern fairy tales like Naomi Novik’s “Spinning Silver” comes an immersive fantasy saga, a debut novel about estranged siblings who are reunited after receiving a mysterious inheritance.
The Yaga siblings — Bellatine, a young woodworker, and Isaac, a wayfaring street performer and con artist — have been estranged since childhood, separated both by resentment and by wide miles of American highway. But when they learn that they are to receive an inheritance, the siblings agree to meet—only to discover that their bequest isn’t land or money, but something far stranger: a sentient house on chicken legs.
An enchanted adventure illuminated by Jewish myth and adorned with lyrical prose as tantalizing and sweet as briar berries, “Thistlefoot” is a sweeping epic rich in eastern European folklore: a powerful and poignant exploration of healing from multi-generational trauma told by a bold new talent.
