Marra, a princess who became a nun to avoid the political marriages used to control her sisters, sets out on an impossible quest — build a dog from bones, weave a cloak of nettles, capture moonlight in a jar — to kill the prince who is destroying her family. Kingfisher's Hugo Award-winning fairy-tale novel is darkly funny, genuinely frightening in places, and centres on women too old, too plain or too unimportant for most fairy tales to notice.
