A review by johannah
The Wood Wife by Terri Windling
4.0
Pulling away from her international life, a middle-aged writer is pulled to a spot of land in the desert. There, the spirits of the land make their desires known to the folks who live on and care for the land.
I think if I had read this book in my 20's it would have been one of my favorite books of all time. Reading it in my 40's, I find it has a few too many cringe-worthy moments (an international super-star director of a medieval music group?, the male lead named Johnny Foxxe??).
I do love the core story about the land and all who share it.
