tales she loved as a small girl, before loss and fear had her
retreat into routine and daydreams. Around the care of young
children, she starts to play with the shape and scale of her days:
to stray from the path, get lost in the woods, make bargains with
strangers. As she moves beyond her respectable roles as worker,
wife and mother in a small town, Tanya learns what it takes - and
costs - to break the spell of longing for love, approval, safety,
rescue.
