Reflection on what grief is supposed to feel like (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Grief takes its time to reach me. I wait, staring at the ceiling in bed the way one waits for sleep, thinking at any moment it will arrive. That I will know it when it hits. I am sure it will be sharp and impossible to ignore. Like taking the knife out of a wound — it will hurt and bleed, but then I will heal. A sweet release.

With contemporary dialogue, a healthy dose of diversity and women at the forefront, Laine’s novel appears to be set anywhere but Tudor-era England. Despite this, HTMD is a reimagining of the six wives of Henry VIII told from the women’s perspectives with a sprinkle of magic on top. Aided by the Hellebore Sisterhood, a fictional se
