These lively and carefully crafted stories depict the extraordinary lives of women. Floating magically above their pasta-eating husbands, building houses with their children's nightgowns, or consulting brujas for housekeeping tips, Brennan's characters are driven and often saved by their own quirky, wild desires. In the tradition of the best fairy tales, Brennan's inventive fiction creates marvelous worlds in which things are not what they seem and women are not merely themselves.
