Can't-Wait Wednesday: A Pocketful of Crows by Joanne M. Harris

Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and talk about the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. It's based on Waiting On Wednesday hosted at Breaking the Spine.



A Pocketful of Crows by Joanne M. Harris
Expected publication: October 19th 2017 by Gollancz

I am as brown as brown can be,
And my eyes as black as sloe;
I am as brisk as brisk can be,
And wild as forest doe.

(The Child Ballads, 295)

So begins a beautiful tale of love, loss and revenge. Following the seasons, A Pocketful of Crows balances youth and age, wisdom and passion and draws on nature and folklore to weave a stunning modern mythology around a nameless wild girl.

Only love could draw her into the world of named, tamed things. And it seems only revenge will be powerful enough to let her escape.

Beautifully illustrated by (TBC), this is a stunning and original modern fairytale.


I've only found out about this book a few days ago so I'm still going crazy over it. And it will be illustrated! I know I'll have to get myself a hardcover copy of it. The cover is so gorgeous! ♥
