Book Synopsis The Four Marys : A Quartet of Contemporary Folk Tales by : Jean Rafferty
Book excerpt: Longisted for the Jerwood Fiction Uncovered prize 2015. "Powerful stories." - Marina Warner. Obsession, longing, deceit and even murder feature in this quartet of provocative novellas, which gives a modern twist to tales of women for whom all is not necessarily as it seems. Drawing on history, culture and lore, this is a riveting exploration of the complexities of motherhood: edgy and engrossing, moving, yet at times, disturbing.
