Ep. 81: House of Salt and Sorrows by Erin A. Craig

Of Slippers and Spindles - Fairy Tale Retellings and Adaptations in Books, Film, and Theatre

“Nights like this were meant to be shared, remembered, and talked about for years."
The 12 Dancing Princesses Month continues as Drew and Cassie take a look at the popular 2019 YA novel House of Salt and Sorrows by Erin A. Craig. This book follows Annaleigh Thaumas, the sixth of twelve sisters, who lives a sheltered life at her family's stronghold in Highmoor. The four eldest Thaumas daughters have died over the last few years, and rumors are spreading that the family is cursed. As Annaleigh's remaining sisters begin to sneak out every night to attend glittering balls, Annaleigh herself is more occupied with seeking out answers about the sisters that are gone. We discuss our many frustrations with the book, the mysterious theme connecting the sisters' names, the incorporation of the gods of the book's world, the story's many twists, and more!
