Liga endures unspeakable cruelties at the hands of her father, before being magically granted her own personal heaven, a safe haven from the real world. She raises her two daughters in this alternate reality, and they grow up protected from the violence that once harmed their mother. But the real world cannot be denied forever . . .

Magicked men and wild bears break down the borders of Liga''s refuge. Now, having known Heaven, how will these three women survive in a world where beauty and brutality lie side by side?

Industry Reviews

"Funny, tragic, wise, tender and beautifully written. It also left me gasping with shock ... It is with a mixture of respect and delight that I greet any book capable of blasting an entire genre out of the water with its audacity and grace. Tender Morsels is such a book" -- Meg Rosoff Guardian "A striking retelling of the Grimms' Snow White and Rose Red, told in a rich yet remote prose style, it is, like Lanagan's awardwinning collection of short stories, Red Spikes, likely to appeal to teenage girls with a taste for the original and the sinister" -- Amanda Craig The Times "A work of genius" -- Dinah Hall Sunday Telegraph "It's a rewardingly complex and emotional story told in highly imaginative prose. The worlds Lanagan creates are so rich and multi-layered it's easy to get lost in the book's 500 pages, never wanting to leave" Scotsman "Ambitious and difficult with multi-layered prose that will work its way into your very soul" -- Jill Murphy The Bookbag
