The Wax Child by Olga Ravn
5.0
NetGalley ARC
A brilliantly vivid and scattered book about misogyny and witch trials told through the eyes of a wax bound doll.
The doll sees all babies born dead, fleeing home, finding a new home, witch hunts and cruel punishments.
The narrative is intriguing and stilted in a way to force the reader to make inferences about the story. A clear testament to the authors skill as a storyteller.
