Mother of Wild Beasts

Fiction

“Old Magda roams the desert in self-imposed exile while a lonely young woman named Summer tries to find her place in the world. When these two women meet, we are drawn into a magical tale of truth, wisdom, acceptance, and love. And after reading it we emerge, blinking at the dazzling light, determined to uncover our authentic selves. As Magda tells Summer, ‘We have to chisel away, slowly, painstakingly, at all the strata of distractions that are crushing us! It’s hard, patient work, cracking through the ancient, hardened layers that we have allowed to bury us alive.’ The exquisite prose and existential musings in this marvelous book may well lead you closer to your own enlightenment.”

The Currach and the Corncrake

Fiction

“Part intimate family portrait, part myth, part homage to the glorious land and sea of Ireland, this is a story of loyalty, to whom we are meant to be and to those we love. There is more than one hero on this journey, a father and son who must battle themselves, each other, and the elements before they have a chance of mending what is broken—all told with Piotrowicz’s gorgeous lyricism and endless imagination. Immersed in her wondrous world, I savored each word and didn’t want it to end but couldn’t put it down.”
