The Books Oracle
by Aino Kallas
This legendary story springs from old Estonian werewolf myths but tells much more: a metaphor for women's lack of freedom in the 17th century. Set on the Estonian island of Hiiumaa, it follows a young woman who chooses transformation and wildness over the suffocating constraints of her prescribed life, exploring the price of female defiance in a world that demands submission.
