Trinket

by Beth Larrivee-Woods

Since losing his grandfather, his pet lynx Trinket has been the only person Curtis needed, but when one winter morning she turns into a 21-year-old human female, Curtis isn’t sure he can love a human the way he loved Trinket. At the age of fifteen Tamara was forced to let go of her humanity in a bid to survive, but after five years of living in the form of a Canada lynx, can she face the outside world, survive what waits for her there, and can she do it without Curtis? Trinket is a dark fairy tale suspense born of northern magic, First Nations legends, and Scandinavian fairytales.

About the author

My name is Beth Larrivée-Woods and I write literary fiction (whatever that is), magical realism, and good old-fashioned fantasy. Someday I'll write a science fiction novel too. I’m autistic and was late diagnosed. This is often the prism through which I view the world. I live on Vancouver Island with my husband, children, mother and an ever-changing rota of animals.

Other things that may (or may not) be of note: I am sometimes irreverent, perverse, and I have a potty mouth. I nearly always wear dresses. I think dogs are the best earthlings. I really love and admire old stuff. I have hypermobile Ehler’s Danlos syndrome. Knitting keeps me sane.

I so loved this book - the story, the characters, the magic and imagination. Will be rereading it as soon as paper copy arrives!
