![]() ![]() ![]() Money lending runs in the family & just like her grandfather Miryem has a knack for collecting from those that owe her. Miryem and her family are struggling in poverty while those in the village that have borrowed from her father continue to prosper whilst not paying their debts. Told through multiple points of view, we start off with ❄ Miryem❄ who loves her father for the good man that he is but recognizes how terrible he is as a money lender. Their lives intertwined– Miryem, Wanda, and Irinushka have every odd set against them in a world that would soon rather have them married and birthing children than in a position of power. A tale about three daughters left to pay the price of bad decisions made by their fathers. Spinning Silver is a Rumpelstiltskin retelling, an adult fantasy that takes on real life hard hitting issues (please see Content Warnings above) while weaving a tale about debts owed and the relentless winter that is plaguing the land. I’m not quick to say I have a type when it comes to books or anything for that matter however, this slower paced wintry read seems to fall in line with some of my favorites (think The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden or The Bone Witch by Rin Chupeco). *HUGE thanks to Del Rey for the early review copy in exchange for my honest opinionįor more Bookish photos, click on the photo to follow LairOfBooks on Bookstagram ![]() Content Warning: Anti-antisemitism, alcohol abuse, physical abuse, death of a family member, and violence ![]()
