Blood in the Thread by Cheri Kamei

5.0

I first heard the Crane Wife story on a Decemberists album ten years ago and I’m still haunted by the way violence and exploitation is so twisted up with love in that story. Cheri’s retelling is so beautiful, it’s still haunting but there’s real love here too between these two women, in spite of the violence of men. There’s hope.
