Description

A raw and powerful story of love, sacrifice, and family, The Crane Husband is a contemporary retelling of a story. Kelly Barnhill weaves a narrative that packs a punch more intense than many books ten times its length. In this stunning novel, a teenage girl finds herself at the centre of her small Midwestern family, shouldering responsibilities she never asked for. When her mother brings home a mysterious guest with a menacing air, the girl is powerless to prevent her from falling under his spell. As her mother becomes increasingly enthralled by the crane, the girl must do whatever it takes to protect her family and change the course of their lives. With its themes of love, sacrifice, and the power of storytelling, The Crane Husband is a gripping and unforgettable read.
