A darkly humorous and haunting folk fable. A short story perfect for fans of Katherine Arden and Naomi Novik.
Read by Marli Siu (Wicker, Everything I Know About Love).
**Now a major motion picture starring Olivia Coleman and Alexander Skarsgard.**
Husband Material . . .
In a small coastal village, a fish-gutter lives a lonely existence, shunned by neighbours and smelling of brine. Desperate for companionship, she trades her life savings — three gold coins — to a local basket-maker with a single request: make me a husband.
Woven from willow, her new partner is broad-shouldered, gentle-spoken, and utterly devoted. As he mends her leaky roof, shares her bed and restores her happiness, the woman blossoms, wearing flowers in her hair and singing as she works.
But her transformation sparks deep jealousy among the villagers, whose own marriages begin to curdle with envy. Driven by malice, the townspeople hatch a wicked scheme to convince her that her wicker spouse has betrayed her . . .
