Holly Phillips - Fantasy Magazine Review RETURNING MY SISTER'S FACE
The excellent award-wining author Holly Phillips gives a fabulous review at Fantasy Magazine to the debut collection Returning My Sister's Face by Eugie Foster (eugie):
"In this elegant collection of stories Eugie Foster bridges the gap between the traditional fairytale and historical fantasy. Throughout the collection she alternates between re-tellings of Chinese and Japanese legends and original stories with elements drawn from the same deep wells. There is a formality to the writing that suits the traditional strain, giving a timeless authority to all the stories without making them unapproachable."
