Devon grew up on Fairy Tales, literally. As a book eater, they were her food. But when she grows up she realises life isn’t they way fairytales would have you believe. At its core The Book Eaters is a tale of family bonds that criticises society, prejudice and what it means to be a mother. Through the darkened lens of monterías fantasy.
