Savage Her Reply by Deirdre Sullivan
A dark, feminist retelling of The Children of Lir by the author of the multi-award-winning Tangleweed and Brine
 
A retelling of the favourite Irish fairytale The Children of Lir. Aífe marries Lir, a chieftain with four children by his previous wife. Jealous of his affection for his children, the witch Aífe turns them into swans for 900 years.
 
Retold through the voice of Aífe, Savage Her Reply is unsettling and dark, feminist and fierce, yet nuanced in its exploration of the guilt of a complex character.
