Caitlin Breeze lives in London in a tiny house full of books. She has a BA from the University of Cambridge, a Creative MA from Falmouth University, and a love of all things eldritch.
The Fox Hunt is her first novel.
At Electric Lit Breeze tagged seven novels in which women turn monstrous to reclaim their humanity. One title on the list:
Paladin’s Strength by T. KingfisherRead about another entry on the list.
Clara is a nun, warrior, and unapologetic werebear. Yes, werebear. But her bear-self isn’t a shameful secret: It’s simply a part of her, and one she carries with matter-of-fact pride. Kingfisher’s world treats female strength with affectionate irreverence. Clara is powerful enough to break a man in half and tender enough to worry about rude table manners in between battles. Her transformation doesn’t make her less human, it makes her more wholly herself, refusing every attempt to shrink her. Sometimes the only way to carve out space in a world built to contain you is to become something too large to hold.
