Can't-Wait Wednesday: The Blue Salt Road 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.

The Blue Salt Road by Joanne M. Harris
Expected publication: November 15th 2018 by Gollancz

An earthly nourris sits and sings
And aye she sings, "Ba lilly wean,
Little ken I my bairn's father,
Far less the land that he staps in.
(Child Ballad, no. 113)

So begins a stunning tale of love, loss and revenge, against a powerful backdrop of adventure on the high seas, and drama on the land. The Blue Salt Road balances passion and loss, love and violence and draws on nature and folklore to weave a stunning modern mythology around a nameless, wild young man.

Passion drew him to a new world, and trickery has kept him there - without his memories, separated from his own people. But as he finds his way in this dangerous new way of life, so he learns that his notions of home, and your people, might not be as fixed as he believed.

Beautifully illustrated by Bonnie Helen Hawkins, this is a stunning and original modern fairytale.

When I found out about this new book by Joanne M. Harris that will releas in November I almost couldn't handle my excitement. Obviously the cover is gorgeous but I just know that the story will blow me away. It sounds like it will be full of folklore and mythology. I also can't wait to see the beautiful illustrations by Bonnie Helen Hawkins.

Also don't forget to check out A Pocketful of Crows that Harris published last year, a similar book that's based on The Child Ballads. It also has gorgeous illustrations by Hawkins and I just loved that book so much. It was heartbreaking and beautiful.
