Description:
A short story collection about women's transformations from girls into wives, mothers, and monsters
'In villages where women bore most of the weight of a constricted life, witches flew by night on broomsticks,' said Italo Calvino of the way imagination bridges the gap between everyday existence and an idealised alternative.
The fifteen stories of Animal Wife are unified by girls and women who cross this threshold seeking liberation from family responsibilities, from societal expectations, from their own minds. A girl born with feathers undertakes a quest for the mother who abandoned her. An indecisive woman drinks Foresight, only to become stymied by the futures branching before her. A proofreader cultivates a cage-fighting alter ego. A woman becomes psychologically trapped in her car. A girl acts on her desire for a childhood friend as a monster draws closer to the shore. A widow invites a bear to hibernate in her den.
Animal Wife was selected as the winner of the Red Hen Fiction Award by New York Times bestselling author Ann Hood, who says of the collection, 'From the first sentence Animal Wife grabbed me and never let go. Sensual and intelligent, with gorgeous prose, it made me dizzy with its exploration and illumination of the inner and outer lives of girls and women.'

Great pre-reader book!
Format: Hardcover
As an early childhood educator, I use this book often for story time for children 3-5 years old. The book was recommended to our Museum by the Smithsonian Institution Early Enrichment Center. I ordered the book to share with my young granddaughter - I'm sure she will enjoy it as much as I do each time I read it!

Soft, convenient, mobility friendly
These work great for my father who has mobility difficulties. He’s able to maintain a better grip with these. The mesh is soft, not abrasive, to the skin yet works up a good lather. Standard bar ivory fits nicely with room for a bigger bar soap.

The perfect soap bag for me
I'm new to using soap bags, I've tried a few different brands so far and this one is by far my favorite. I love how soap bags create a rich lather with bar soap while exfoliating but the ones I tried before this brand were way too rough to use on a daily basis, my skin would be red after showering. When I saw the type of material these soap bags were made of, it looked to be more gentle so I decided to give it a try. I've only used the white soap bag a few times now but I love it. It fits my Dove soap bar perfectly (other soap bags were too large), still creates a nice rich lather and best of all the material is so much more gentle than the other soap bags I've tried so I'm able to use it regularly without feeling like I'm scraping my skin off. I was hesitant to buy these due to the lack of reviews but I'm glad I did, with how amazing this product is I hope more people find these and try them out. I plan to buy a few more packs in case they ever stop making these, the price is very reasonable as well.

Smaller than add makes it seem.
