PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY

She has a degree in political science from Barnard College, focusing on religion and ethnonationalism. She has worked for a refugee resettlement organization, for a U.S. senator, and, most recently, for an AI robotics startup. The Wolf and the Woodsman is her first novel.
A love letter to stories - and to everyone silenced or forgotten in their retelling. * Allison Saft * A wonderfully written, tense and moving novel that offers its audience an endlessly readable mix of historical fiction, gothic mystery and fantasy romance that will draw you in again and again. * CultureFly * As merciless as a rising tide and as beguiling as a fairy's bargain. * Melissa Albert * A Study in Drowning is a stunning book in every way. From one phenomenal book to another, Ava Reid is an author I am obsessed with . . . A masterclass in pacing, characterisation and tension, with a beautiful meditation on stories and who gets to have an authorial voice. * The Nerd Daily * A spell-binding mix of magic, myth, and mystery. * Rory Power *
