The Crow-Girl: The Children of Crow Cove

(1) 4-6 Translated by Faith Ingwersen. This folktale-like Danish novel follows an orphaned peasant girl as she gathers together a new family made up of other lost souls like her. The group, including a motherless little boy and his grieving father, an abused mother and daughter, and a reclusive shepherd, grow to rely on one another for physical and emotional sustenance. The prose is as luminous and uncluttered as the stark coastal setting.
