Jean Rafferty 
A Faerie Child 

“Strong feeling, uncompromising frankness” – Marina Warner. After suffering the torments of miscarriage for the ninth time, Mara has become desperate for a baby of her own. Desperate enough to try almost anything… A modern retelling of the age-old changeling myth, originally published in The Four Marys, a quartet of contemporary novellas drawing on Celtic history and folklore and exploring sometimes provocative themes of femininity and motherhood.
