Awards YA Book of the Year, Irish Book Awards 2020
Summary A dark, feminist retelling of 'The Children of Lir' told in Sullivan's hypnotic prose. A retelling of the favourite Irish fairytale 'The Children of Lir'. Aífe marries Lir, a king with four children by his previous wife. Jealous of his affection for his children, the witch Aífe turns them into swans for 900 years. Retold through the voice of Aífe, Savage Her Reply is unsettling and dark, feminist and fierce, yet nuanced in its exploration of the guilt of a complex character. Voiced in Sullivan's trademark rich, lyrical prose as developed in Tangleweed and Brine - the multiple award-winner which established Sullivan as the queen of witchy YA.
