Hag: Forgotten Folktales Retold by Imogen Hermes Gowar, Naomi Booth, Emma Glass, Irenosen Okojie, Daisy Johnson, Natasha Carthew, Eimear McBride, Liv Little, Mahsuda Snaith, Kirsty Logan
3.0
3.5 stars? Hard to rate this because it’s multiple authors so the writing style and interpretations differed between them all.
Natasha Carthew’s retelling of The Mermaid and the Man of Cury was SO hard to read, I’m guessing it’s her writing style but there were virtually no commas so the sentences became incoherent. I did enjoy Emma Glass’ retelling of The Fairy Midwife though, which is interesting because I did not enjoy her novella Peach at all.
