Product Information
New York Times bestselling author Maria Dahvana Headley presents a modern retelling of the literary classic Beowulf , set in American suburbia as two mothers--a housewife and a battle-hardened veteran--fight to protect those they love in The Mere Wife . From the perspective of those who live in Herot Hall, the suburb is a paradise. Picket fences divide buildings--high and gabled--and the community is entirely self-sustaining. Each house has its own fireplace, each fireplace is fitted with a container of lighter fluid, and outside--in lawns and on playgrounds--wildflowers seed themselves in neat rows. But for those who live surreptitiously along Herot Hall's periphery, the subdivision is a fortress guarded by an intense network of gates, surveillance cameras, and motion-activated lights. For Willa, the wife of Roger Herot (heir of Herot Hall), life moves at a charmingly slow pace. She flits between mommy groups, playdates, cocktail hour, and dinner parties, always with her son, Dylan, in tow. Meanwhile, in a cave in the mountains just beyond the limits of Herot Hall lives Gren, short for Grendel, as well as his mother, Dana, a former soldier who gave birth as if by chance. Dana didn't want Gren, didn't plan Gren, and doesn't know how she got Gren, but when she returned from war, there he was. When Gren, unaware of the borders erected to keep him at bay, ventures into Herot Hall and runs off with Dylan, Dana's and Willa's worlds collide.

Reviews
The Mere Wife [is] an intense, visceral reading experience. . . [the book is] a revisioning of Beowulf , and Maria finds the bones, the sharp edges, the bleeding heart of that story, and tells it against a modern context." -- Kat Howard , author of An Unkindness of Magicians "[A] stunner: a darkly electric reinterpretation of Beowulf that upends its Old English framework to comment on the nature of heroes and how we 'other' those different from ourselves... A strange tale told with sharp poetic imagery and mythic fervor." -- Booklist (starred review) "There's not a false note in this retelling, which does the Beowulf poet and his spear-Danes proud." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Headley ( Magonia ) applies the broad contours of the Beowulf story to her tale but skillfully seeds her novel with reflections on anxieties and neuroses that speak to the concerns of modern parenting." -- Publishers Weekly "Maria Dahvana Headley is a gift, a genius, and an absolute wonder; I would follow her anywhere." -- Carmen Maria Machado , author of Her Body and Other Parties " The Mere Wife is a work of magic. A wild adventure; a celebration of monsters, myths, and the power of mother-love. Imagine a writer so bold, so ambitious, so about it that she challenges Beowulf to arm wrestle. That writer is Maria Dahvana Headley and let me tell you something, she is here to win." -- Victor LaValle , author of The Changeling "Maria Dahvana Headley translates the excesses of contemporary life into the gloriously mythic. This is not just an old story in new clothes: this is a consciousness-altering mind trip of a book." -- Kelly Link , author of Get in Trouble "Maria Dahvana Headley writes with crackling headlong sentences that range among old plots and news observations about a world that earlier today seemed too familiar. Master story teller, brilliant stylist, a writer with this sort of command of language is a delight to read. Here's a book to call up an old story in the newest possible way." --Samuel R. Delany , author of Dhalgren and Dark Reflections " The Mere Wife is an astonishing reinterpretation of Beowulf : Beowulf in suburbia--epic, operatic, and razor-sharp, a story not of a thick-thewed thegn, but of women at war, as wives and warriors, mothers and matriarchs. Their chosen weapons are as likely to be swords as public relations, and they wield both fearlessly. They rule, and they fight." --Nicola Griffith , author of Hild "With a sharp eye and a deft flourish, Maria Dahvana Headley reimagines one of our oldest stories to give us a chilling, elemental vision of our latest selves. The Mere Wife is a bold, stunning riptide of a book." -- Téa Obreht , author of The Tiger's Wife, "[A] stunner: a darkly electric reinterpretation of Beowulf that upends its Old English framework to comment on the nature of heroes and how we 'other' those different from ourselves... A strange tale told with sharp poetic imagery and mythic fervor." -- Booklist (starred review) "There's not a false note in this retelling, which does the Beowulf poet and his spear-Danes proud." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Headley ( Magonia ) applies the broad contours of the Beowulf story to her tale but skillfully seeds her novel with reflections on anxieties and neuroses that speak to the concerns of modern parenting." -- Publishers Weekly "Maria Dahvana Headley is a gift, a genius, and an absolute wonder; I would follow her anywhere." -- Carmen Maria Machado , author of Her Body and Other Parties " The Mere Wife is a work of magic.

The Mere Wife is a bold, stunning riptide of a book." -- Téa Obreht , author of The Tiger's Wife, "Maria Dahvana Headley is a firecracker: she's whip-smart with a heart, and she writes like a dream." -Neil Gaiman, "Headley (whose own translation [of Beowulf ] comes out next year) brings the story of the hero, the monster, and the monster's mother into contemporary times with uncommon vigor and depth." -- Boris Kachka, Vulture "The Mere Wife is a book on par with Lidia Yuknavitch's The Book of Joan : electric, feminist, literary retellings of famous tales, but with dystopian spins. The Mere Wife reimagines Beowulf by setting it in a suburban landscape of intense economic disparity . . . Headley's language is exquisite and imaginative, the contemporary adaptation on-point and thought provoking--essentially, this is how to retell a classic." -- Elena Nicolaou, Refinery29 "[A] stunner: a darkly electric reinterpretation of Beowulf that upends its Old English framework to comment on the nature of heroes and how we 'other' those different from ourselves... A strange tale told with sharp poetic imagery and mythic fervor." -- Booklist (starred review) "There's not a false note in this retelling, which does the Beowulf poet and his spear-Danes proud." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Headley ( Magonia ) applies the broad contours of the Beowulf story to her tale but skillfully seeds her novel with reflections on anxieties and neuroses that speak to the concerns of modern parenting." -- Publishers Weekly "The Mere Wife [is] an intense, visceral reading experience. . .
