Here is a tale of a family dealing with the death of their father,
a son who goes to court for his inheritance, a son who agonizes
over his father's deathbed confession, a daughter who falls in
love, a daughter who becomes involved in the abolition movement,
and a daughter sacrificing herself for her husband.
Here is what sounds for all the world like an enjoyable Victorian
novel, perhaps by Anthony Trollope...except that everyone in the
story is a dragon, red in tooth and claw.
Here are politics and train stations, churchmen and family
retainers, courtship, and country houses...in which, on the death
of an elder, family members gather to eat the body of the deceased.
In which society's high and mighty members avail themselves of the
privilege of killing and eating the weaker children, which they do
with ceremony and relish, growing stronger thereby.
You have never read a novel like "Tooth and Claw."
