YOUNG ADULT REVIEW: Tender Morsels - Margo Lanagan


BOOK BLURB:

Liga endures unspeakable cruelties at the hands of her father, before being magically granted her own personal heaven, a safe haven from the real world. She raises her two daughters in this alternate reality, and they grow up protected from the violence that once harmed their mother. But the real world cannot be denied forever ...Magicked men and wild bears break down the borders of Liga's refuge. Now, having known Heaven, how will these three women survive in a world where beauty and brutality lie side by side?


REVIEW:

For a teen book the content is pretty dark yet through the veil of the otherside it’s a story of empowerment that will inspire others. What Margo does extremely well is bring the characters to life within the book that will speak to many about the message of hope against the darkness of mankinds souls. Well written, inspirational and a tale that whilst I’d only pass on to the older end of the teen market due to content is definitely something that should be read by all.
