About this book
In a world of dragons, a dying patriarch's will starts a dispute among his children. His son the parson wants the family to eat the body of the dead, as tradition says, to gain his strength, but his greedy son-in-law takes far more than his share, and the consequences spread.
The children must find their way through the courts, the church and the marriage market, in a society where the manners of a Victorian novel are the rules of life. Jo Walton's novel of manners, in which everyone is a dragon, won the World Fantasy Award.
