Ep. 75: Water Song by Suzanne Weyn

Of Slippers and Spindles - Fairy Tale Retellings and Adaptations in Books, Film, and Theatre

In our third week discussing The Frog Prince, Drew and Cassie are looking at Water Song by Suzanne Weyn, the 10th book in the Once Upon A Time YA series from the early 2000s. This book sets the story during World War I and follows Emma, a British socialite who has found herself isolated in her family's mansion along the warfront in Belgium. A soldier named Jack seeks refuge from a gas attack in Emma's well, and soon the two find themselves confined to the house by German soldiers. They must fake a marriage as they also plot to undermine the enemy and search for an escape. We discuss the incorporation of magic, the ways Weyn uses the story elements, the possibility of an appearance from Iron Henry, and more!
