20 reviews“If I had to nominate a worthy successor to Angela Carter, I
would nominate Kelly Barnhill. "—Laura Ruby, two-time National Book
Award finalist & author of Bone Gap
"A slim little novella that packs a narrative punch more intense than that of many books ten times its length."—NPR
Award-winning author Kelly Barnhill brings her singular talents to The Crane Husband, a raw, powerful story of love, sacrifice, & family.
“Mothers fly away like migrating birds. This is why farmers have daughters.”
A fifteen-year-old teenager is the backbone of her small Midwestern family, budgeting the household finances & raising her younger brother while her mom, a talented artist, weaves beautiful tapestries. For six years, it’s been just the three of them—her mom has brought home guests at times, but none have ever stayed.
Yet when her mom brings home a six-foot tall crane with a menacing air, the girl is powerless to prevent her mom letting the intruder into her heart, & her children’s lives. Utterly enchanted & numb to his sharp edges, her mom abandons the world around her to weave the masterpiece the crane demands.
In this stunning contemporary retelling of “The Crane Wife” by the Newbery Medal-winning author of The Girl Who Drank the Moon, one fiercely pragmatic teen forced to grow up faster than was fair will do whatever it takes to protect her family—and change the story.
Kelly Barnhill is the author of the adult novel When Women Were Dragons & several middle grade novels, including the New York Times bestselling novels The Girl Who Drank the Moon, winner of the 2017 John Newbery Medal, & The Ogress & the Orphans. She is also the recipient of the World Fantasy Award, & has been a finalist for the SFWA Andre Norton Nebula Award & the PEN America Literary Award. She lives in Minneapolis with her family.
