Mothercare for Mothers
In the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia, a nuanced queer fantasy unfolds, where the last witch of the Ridge must choose sides in a clash between industry and nature. After her best friend's death in a coal mine, Benethea "Bennie" Mattox sacrifices her job, relationship, and reputation to uncover the cause of the miners' demise on Kire Mountain. When she discovers a half-drowned white woman in a dirty mine slough, Bennie takes her in, not only because it's the right thing to do, but also in the hope that this odd, magnetic stranger can provide the proof she needs.
However, this woman, known as Motheater, brings more questions than answers. She cannot remember her true name or how she ended up inside the mountain, but she knows that she is a witch of Appalachia, bound to the land, with power in her hands and Scripture on her tongue. The mystery of her fate, her doomed quest to keep industry off Kire Mountain, and the promises she has broken have followed her through a century and a half, and now the choices that Motheater and Bennie make together could forever alter the face of the town.
As the narrative unfolds, the reader is drawn into a captivating world where the boundaries between industry and nature, past and present, and individual and community are blurred. The characters' struggles and the tensions they navigate reflect the complex social and environmental issues that permeate the Appalachian region. The author's nuanced approach to queer representation adds depth and authenticity to the story, allowing the reader to engage with the characters on a deeper emotional level.
The evocative language and vivid imagery used throughout the text transport the reader to the Appalachian landscape, immersing them in the raw beauty and resilience of the region. The author's command of the written word is evident in the lyrical prose and the seamless integration of magical realism into the narrative.
Overall, this fantasy tale set in the Appalachian Mountains is a poignant exploration of the complex interplay between industry, nature, and the human experience. The strong narrative voice, compelling characters, and thought-provoking themes make this a captivating and unforgettable read.
