Keelie awakens to an extraordinary existence: she has been created from the bodies of three different women and intended to serve the desires of the doctor responsible for her creation. Refusing to accept the life chosen for her, she escapes and begins searching for an identity that truly belongs to her.
Guided by the goddess Eriskegal, Keelie’s journey moves through mythology, history and magic, confronting suffering, healing, love, anger and questions about what makes someone whole. The novel combines fantasy and mythology with themes of identity, autonomy and self-discovery.
An unusual 1990s fantasy novel that should appeal to readers interested in mythology-driven fantasy, feminist speculative fiction and books in the tradition of Ursula K. Le Guin and Margaret Atwood. This 1997 Roc mass-market edition also has the colorful illustrated cover style that works particularly well in EugeneBookStore’s older fantasy inventory.
This is the 1997 Roc mass-market paperback edition, ISBN 0-451-45606-8. Goodreads identifies this edition as a 352-page reprint. A bookseller specializing in fantastic literature describes the 1997 edition as a first printing, making the printing statement on the copyright page worth checking before listing it as such.
