Each story in Sara Maitland's collection enacts a daring kind of alchemy, fusing together raw elements of scientific theory with ancient myth, folkloric archetype and contemporary storytelling. All the more remarkable is that each of these stories sprang from a conversation with a scientist and grew directly out of cutting-edge research.
Sara Maitland is the author of Daughters of Jerusalem, for which she received the Somerset Maugham Award, as well as Brittle Joys, Home Truths, and Three Times Table. Her short story collections include A Book of Spells, On Becoming a Fairy Godmother, and Telling Tales.
