Cwen by Alice Albinia This was a recommendation from someone. It’s set on the coast of the UK and involves islands, women, and the Divine Feminine. I closed it and set it down for good around page 100. I wanted so much to like it! I didn’t like it. The writing is powerful and lovely. The first two pages absolutely captured me. It certainly wasn’t that I thought it was poorly written.
