“The Crow-Girl,” by Bodil Bredsdorff, was translated into English by Faith Ingwersen. The book was originally published in Danish in 1993 as “Krageungen: Børnene i Kragevig 1.” In this spare yet moving novel, the Crow-Girl and her grandmother live in a stone house on a sea cove. After her grandmother dies, the child follows the beckoning cries of two crows and leaves her home. While on her journey, the Crow-Girl encounters people who attempt to break her spirit, as well as those who open their hearts and eventually become her chosen family.
