Some said Enith and Gaant were two sides of the same coin; they would never see eye to eye and would always fight over the same spit of land between their two continents. But their differences were simple, one might say: only in their minds.

Calla is a nurse. Valk a militar. Once time prisioners of war in the other camp.
Chess is a strategy game. Except when is not.

Go on. Try to stay alive.

Maybe something would change.

Stalin might die. Aleksandra might die. The Americans might drop lots of their new bombs…

-----------------

Aleksandra es un zek, una prisionera de gulag, y un día dos oficiales vienen con una nueva misión para ella, no como francotiradora sino como contorsionista talentosa en un destino secreto en otra parte de Siberia. Es eso o consecuencias nefastas para su familia, las amenazas habituales.

Los soviéticos están intrigados por una anomalía y quieren explorarla. Para Aleksandra es otro campamento, otra misión mortal o tal vez ... podría ser un posible escape.

Jackalope Wives

 5 ★★★★★

La abuela Harken vive en el borde del desierto de Arizona , donde entre cactus saguaro  danzan las esposas jackalope.

They had faces like no mortal woman and they moved like quicksilver and they played music that got down into your bones and thrummed like a sickness.

Historia agridulce con todos los elementos de cuento de hadas/mito/leyenda , con raices que probablemente sean célticas (por las liebres) o indigenas, pero que bellas imagenes nos entrega.
