Vivien has a collection of short stories with a blending of bibical, fairy tales and myth references that feel very appropriate in 2020. With the growing love for feminist lit and feminist retellings, these short stories fit in perfectly. 

Vivien plays with the expectation of the female character, her strengths, her viciousness, her power. Though I did not love all of the stories, Vivien's breadth, strength and interesting life makes her a new classic to visit and make well-known.
