A review by jelundberg
The Wood Wife by Terri Windling

5.0

I first read this novel in the late 90s, at the height of my interest in mythic and interstitial fiction, and have returned to it more than 20 years later, when I needed to hear Terri Windling’s voice in my head. If possible, I love it even more now, and it hits me at a moment in time that feels vital and necessary. Terri is known so overwhelmingly for her editing work that it is easy to forget how masterful and musical a prose writer she is. I very much suspect that this is not the last time I revisit this wonderful book.
