"A riveting feminist retelling, filled with excitement, imagination, magic, and just the right touch of darkness. These twelve fierce heroines will be a pleasure to return to again and again." -- Madeline Miller, #1 New York Times bestselling author of CIRCE " The Restless Girls is wild, wise, generous, ferocious kind of story. It's a tale to read to your children (of both genders) over and over, and for them to read to theirs. It's a book that glows. " -- Katherine Rundell, author of THE WOLF WILDER and THE EXPLORER "[A] story of female empowerment, agency and sisterhood. 'The Restless Girls' is one of the prettiest books I've seen in a long time. Barrett's artwork is exquisite, and provides another layer to the story that is not explicitly in the text.
