Description
xKirkus Reviews, "Best Teens and YA Books of 2023"
A feminist retelling of favourite Irish fairytale The Children of Lir.
A?e marries Lir, a chieftain with four children by his previous wife. Jealous of his affection for his children, the witch A?e turns them into swans for 900 years. Retold through the voice of A?e, Savage Her Reply is unsettling and dark, yet nuanced in its exploration of the guilt of a complex character.
