Recently Odile Thomas from “Sending a Wave” podcast sent me a link to stories she was working on for her writers group. I read them, gave some feedback and one in particular caught my eye. I like this story for two reasons, one the russian tones that come through (both in names and way the characters act) but also the way it takes a very european mythological view of death being a transformative process. Ok maybe that’s a little highbrow (oh oh word nerd alert) but I think you will enjoy this version, read by Odile herself.
