Subversive re-imaginings of four fairytales from the Brothers Grimm collection... The stories are dark and funny, and the mothers - with their emotional struggles with issues such as child care - are instantly recognisable. * Daily Telegraph (Australia) * A brilliant exploration of the modern pressures of parenthood. With satirical glee, Wood skewers the archetypical notion of the good mother. * Big Issue (Australia) * Wood writes with acute insight into the inner lives of women, and all in prose so precise and crystal-cut, the whole shines with an unsettling beauty... Stories about our lives, our times, but their roots are dark, knotted, and ancient, hidden away under the concrete * Sydney Morning Herald * Psychologically acute and mordantly witty, the stories in Mothers Grimm unsettle the reader with their too-close-to-the-bone truths one moment, and cause a wry smile of recognition the next. -- Kate Forsyth, bestselling author of Bitter Greens
