Perfectly plotted, wonderfully paced, with characters I loved and rooted for page after page. -Tessa Fontaine, author of The Electric Woman: A Memoir in Death-Defying Acts The Puppeteer's Daughters is the unflinching human tale of three sisters navigating their relationships to an ailing father, who is often as loving as he is punitive. Here is a story of fairy tales, puppetry, and a dash of mystery that will wrap you up in warmth and tender familiarity. It is extraordinary in its exploration of the beautiful and often fragmented bond between siblings, and will immediately entrance you through tiny glimpses into their heartache, joy, loss, and redemption. This is the family saga we all need right now. -Carmen Ritter, Malaprop's Bookstore/Cafe In The Puppeteer's Daughters, Heather Newton has reimagined King Lear as a modern-day Jim Henson style creative genius. But unlike Lear, Walter Gray has an unacknowledged fourth daughter whose existence adds to the plot twists. Recommended for fans of Jane Smiley. -Jill Hendrix, owner of Fiction Addiction
