Delightful and darkly magical. Julia Fine has written a beautiful modern myth, a coming-of-age story for a girl with a worrisome power over life and death. I loved it., A first-time novelist of exceptional imagination... Fine offers a provocative fairy tale about womanhood under siege and one young woman's fierce resistance... with convincing intensity and a charming mix of wit, gruesomeness, magic, and romance in the spellbinding mode of Alice Hoffman., A hypnotizing fairy tale that explores what it's like to live life in an unruly female body that everyone around it insists on controlling, What Should Be Wild pulsates with originality, curiosity, terror, and pleasure., A wonderful addition to that genre of lyrical, poetic fantasies, akin to fairy tales in their delicacy and adjacency to the real world., A modern fairy tale... Fine's story is a barely restrained, careful musing on female desire, loneliness and hereditary inheritances., A surreally feministic tale.... Enchanting, menacing and darkly humorous, it explores women's power and powerlessness throughout the ages. To be tamed and controlled, to be untamed and fierce--and feared., Imaginative and haunting, a stylistic blend of Matthew Haig's How To Stop Time, Melissa Albert's The Hazel Wood, and Téa Obreht's The Tiger's Wife., A captivating tale that explores the fears, desires and mysteries of growing up.... Fine begins with elements we all recognize... and delightfully warps them until a new tale emerges. Maisie is a complex heroine worthy of the story's luxurious prose.... Fine [has a] gift for walking the tightrope between the universal truths of human experience and the hidden magic within those truths., Julia Fine's dynamic new novel What Should Be Wild is a darkly comic tale with doses of magic and suspense., Fine uses a familiar fairy tale framework to illuminate the fear and oppression of female power.... This framework, the open-hearted, first-person narration from Maise, and just plain good storytelling make the layered exploration accessible and engaging.... [A] lovely debut., Julia Fine's elegant prose and quick-paced storytelling cause the pages to fly by, and you'll still be reliving each moment to trace what was real for quite some time to come., What Should Be Wild is a grim, beautiful book that you won't be able to put down. It's a thrilling fairytale that will give you the chills, will make you wonder what's really hidden in the forest. Julia Fine writes with enormous imagination, and her first novel is a feast., Fine's stellar debut is a mystical combination of curiosity, curses, and compassion.... An inventive and fascinating modern coming-of-age fairy tale.
Synopsis
"Delightful and darkly magical. Julia Fine has written a beautiful modern myth, a coming-of-age story for a girl with a worrisome power over life and death. I loved it." --Audrey Niffenegger, author of The Time Traveler's Wife and Her Fearful Symmetry Finalist for the Bram Stoker Superior Achievement in a First Novel Award - Shortlisted for the Chicago Review of Books Best Novel Prize - A Bustle Unmissable Debut of the Year - A Popsugar Best Book of the Year - A Washington Post Best Fantasy Book of May - A Refinery 29 Best May Book - A Chicago Review of Books Best May Book - A Verge Gripping Fantasy Novel of May In this darkly funny, striking debut, a highly unusual young woman must venture into the woods at the edge of her home to remove a curse that has plagued the women in her family for millennia--an utterly original novel with all the mesmerizing power of The Tiger's Wife , The Snow Child , and Swamplandia Cursed. Maisie Cothay has never known the feel of human flesh: born with the power to kill or resurrect at her slightest touch, she has spent her childhood sequestered in her family's manor at the edge of a mysterious forest. Maisie's father, an anthropologist who sees her as more experiment than daughter, has warned Maisie not to venture into the wood. Locals talk of men disappearing within, emerging with addled minds and strange stories. What he does not tell Maisie is that for over a millennium her female ancestors have also vanished into the wood, never to emerge--for she is descended from a long line of cursed women. But one day Maisie's father disappears, and Maisie must venture beyond the walls of her carefully constructed life to find him. Away from her home and the wood for the very first time, she encounters a strange world filled with wonder and deception. Yet the farther she strays, the more the wood calls her home. For only there can Maisie finally reckon with her power and come to understand the wildest parts of herself., "Delightful and darkly magical.
