A review by jazzypizzaz
Falling in Love with Hominids by Nalo Hopkinson

4.0

3.5, although I like to be generous with short stories as several left me wanting a whole novel based on the premise. the kind of writing where every so often I come across a turn of phrase, a sentence, some imagery that gives me a little thrill inside, a strange ache. I shelved this as fantasy, but more accurately it's fairytales in the Grimm way -- transportative, enchanting, but also often visceral. a folklore that feels both modern and ancient.
