Whichwood Audiobook Summary
Embark on a wondrous journey through the land of Whichwood in this stunning companion to Tahereh Mafi’s acclaimed bestseller Furthermore.
A Kirkus Best Book of the Year!
★ “Deliciously descriptive prose. . . . Darkly fascinating.” −Kirkus
★ “Unforgettable heroine.” −Booklist
★ “Mafi’s language choices create visually arresting moments.” –Shelf Awareness
Our story begins on a frosty night . . .
Laylee can barely remember the happier times before her beloved mother died. Before her father, driven by grief, lost his wits (and his way) and she was left as the sole remaining mordeshoor in the village of Whichwood, destined to spend her days scrubbing the skins and souls of the dead in preparation for the afterlife. It’s become easy to forget and easier still to ignore not only her ever-increasing loneliness, but the way her overworked hands are stiffening and turning silver, just like her hair.
But soon, a pair of familiar strangers appear, and Laylee’s world is turned upside down as she rediscovers color, magic, and the healing power of friendship.
Lush and enchanting, critically-acclaimed author Tahereh Mafi weaves together an all-new magical adventure in this dark, Persian fantasy, a companion to the New York Times bestselling Furthermore.
★ “In deliciously descriptive prose, the confiding, familiar narrator directly engages the ‘dear reader’ with witty asides, explanatory footnotes, and cautionary warnings as Laylee’s woeful tale unfolds… Mafi uses her built world to interrogate norms and relationships in our own while never losing sight of her story. Memorable new characters experience the restorative power of friendship in this darkly fascinating, somewhat ghoulish sequel to Furthermore. −Kirkus, starred review
★ “It’s Laylee’s personal transformation that shines brightest, giving Mafi’s singular fantasy an equally unforgettable heroine.” −Booklist, starred review
★ “Whichwood, Tahereh Mafi’s companion novel to Furthermore, is as absorbing as (if not more than) its predecessor…. Mafi’s language choices create visually arresting moments…. Deftly explores several appealing themes, including the healing power of friendship and the resilience to overcome adversity in her whimsical, Persian-inspired fantasy world.” −Shelf Awareness, starred review
