A review by captaincymru
The Wood Wife by Terri Windling

4.0

I have no interest in going to Arizona. The sun lives there and the whole place is testament to man's arrogance. But such is the strength of the book that I did find myself wanting to go see the desert. The landscape itself is a character in this urban/rural fantasy centred around Maggie Black. She's inherited her penpal's house and papers after his mysterious death and comes to Arizona with thoughts of writing his biography. Naturally, spooky stuff starts to happen.

The 'Readers Also Enjoyed' bit in the corner of the screen suggests several Charles de Lint novels and there's a very similar vibe. If you enjoy Charles de Lint, you'll like this book and vice versa.
