Raven Girl Summary

Raven Girl by Audrey Niffenegger

Once there was a Postman who fell in love with a Raven... So begins the tale of a postman who encounters a fledgling raven while on the edge of his route and decides to take her home. The unlikely couple falls in love and conceives a child - an extraordinary raven girl trapped in a human body. The raven girl feels imprisoned by her arms and legs and covets wings and the ability to fly. Betwixt and between, she reluctantly grows into a young woman, until one day she meets an unorthodox doctor who is willing to change her. One of the world's most beloved storytellers has created a dark fairytale full of wonderment and longing. Illustrated with Audrey Niffenegger's bewitching etchings and paintings, Raven Girl explores the bounds of transformation and possibility.

darkly beautiful modern fairytale. * Metropolitain (Eurostar) *
Moves at an exhilarating pace. -- Tom Gatti * The Times *
Aesthetically, the book is a work of art... Striking and unforgettable. * Nudge *
Like all good fairy tales, Raven Girl is really quite disturbing as well as romantic and touching. -- Sally Williams * Daily Telegraph *
