"Flower and Weed" is a short story glimpse into the vividly imagined world of Margo Lanagan's powerful, multi-award-winning novel Sea Hearts (also published as The Brides of Rollrock Island). Selkies are in the background, but this is a story of a liaison between a selkie's earthly husband and one of the witches who does the magic that's essential to keeping the selkie-wife trade going.
Flower and Weed eBook Margo Lanagan
Reading Lanagan's fanatsy works I often find myself readily drawn into that fairy tale reality, that place that is familiar yet strange. Flower and Weeds is set in the world carved out of Lanagan's imaginings in her novel Sea Hearts. Do you need to have read the novel to enjoy this short work? I don't think so (though I encourage you to, for I think it heightens the enjoyment).Lanagan's facility with language, with rhythm makes this a very special read. If you want to read a story that will transport you, pick it up. If you enjoy authors whose skill is not in just relating a tale, but in manipulating the English language, in using word choice and syntax to evoke a tangible secondary reality - download it.

Flower and Weed eBook Margo Lanagan Reviews
I feel like I needed to read "Sea Hearts" first in order to enjoy this properly. It is on my list, however, so I should be coming back to this once I'm done.
Without being too into the setting of "Sea Hearts," it was a fairly mediocre story about a sexual liaison, with a little bit of detail about selkies in the background. The wholesale cuckolding of the woman's new husband is somewhat amusing, but otherwise, there's not much to interest me.
I'll try to update my review after finishing the main story. For now, it's meh.
This book was ok I guess. I did like the story line some but it seemed kind of boring. I wouldn't recommend this book.
Erotic and haunting, the tale swaddles us instantly in the community of Rollrock. Great read from an astounding author. Bravo!
If you've read and enjoyed The Brides of Rollrock Island (aka Sea Hearts) you will not want to miss this novella set in the same world. As usual, Lanagan drags us into her world with her poetical writing ('her hair trussed up with flower and weed both of the sea and land', 'her beskirted bum and flying apron strings', 'a girl solemning toward womanhood') as well her ability to get inside a character's head and make the poetry come out of his mouth.
