The Fox Wife by Yangsze Choo
Stories remember long after people would prefer they forget.
The Fox Wife moves through folklore, mystery, grief, and revenge as lives become entangled with the old stories surrounding fox spirits. The past isn’t something safely left behind here. It travels through memory, belief, loss, and the stories people continue telling about what happened.
It’s a novel filled with the things we carry forward, intentionally or otherwise.
Because memory doesn’t always preserve the truth exactly as it happened.
Sometimes it preserves the story that survived.
