"when I was born, the name for what I was did not exist. they called me nymph, assuming I would be like my mother and aunts and thousand cousins. least of the lesser goddesses, our powers were so modest they could scarcely ensure our eternities. we spoke to the fish and flowers, coaxed drops from the clouds or salt from the waves. that word, nymph, paced out the length and breadth of our futures. in our language, it means ... bride."

the tribe has spoken. i'm delving into this gem on #newyearseve! 🎉this cover. 😍 and have you seen the #endpapers? 🔥 but the rave reviews have me convinced that every part of this book is a beaut!
