I am not a falconer, so I had quite a bit to learn. My knowledge—which remains very incomplete—was informed by a falconry workshop, watching Youtube videos on falconry, and reading old falconry manuals. I also learned so very much from Helen Macdonald's powerful and beautifully written book H is for Hawk. Close readers will find parallels!(less)

Lady Tremaine by Rachel Hochhauser
"Every story has more than one view, and that is true for fairy tales, too. I love taking on a beloved fairy tale and recreating it with a different point of view. Cinderella is one of those fairy tales that I loved growing up, but realized once I was" Read more of this review »

Quotes by Rachel Hochhauser  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“My experience of happiness is that it comes in two forms: a potent dose so extreme that you are overwhelmed with fear it will disappear, or a subtle kind that envelops you with such stealth you’re hardly aware of its presence.”
Rachel Hochhauser, Lady Tremaine

“My book of maxims—life, distilled—would be short:

You do not need to be afraid. You do not have to be good. You do not need to hide your fleshy interiors behind a carapace of frills and lace. Life is not meant for measurement.

There is but one beat to heed. Live like this and you will know with certainty:

You are the scariest thing in the woods.”
Rachel Hochhauser, Lady Tremaine

“Any mother who tells you she loves all her children—or appraises them—equally is lying. There is no way to measure or balance love. Love is an animal of its own bidding and inclination; it prowls and pounces and feels; it grows and it hurts and it withers. My love for the girls was ranging and reaching. It assessed them because assessment was a part of protection. It saw their differences”
Rachel Hochhauser, Lady Tremaine
