long shot, but does anyone know....

[DimpledThighs]

...the name of the woman (andrea someone???) who published a retelling of fairy stories in a kind of adult style earlier this year?

There is a book by hers about a woman who has wings called 'fevvers' but I can't remember anything else about it and I really want to buy it.

as I said, it's a long shot.....

Angela Carter, I think. Here .

(I didn't know this, but I do know how to use google )

you absolute chuffing star!!!!!

(I knew it would be you!!)

this is the book I am after - saw someone talk about it at Oxford Literature Festival, but couldn't remember the crucial name or title. Have tracked it down now and love you to bits!

Glad you've found it.

I thought she was dead?

(I just googled for 'fevver' and wings, btw. Turns out the woman is called Fevver, in that book.)

Nights at the circus

Fkn brilliant read. I loved it.

She is dead taken far too young from cancer.

Joanne Harris (who I don't care for much) listed it as one of her top five inspring books.
