Eliza Foss and Jennifer Pickens narrate a haunting reimagining of the fairy tale "The Goose Girl." Cordelia lives with her mother, an enchantress, in a house with no doors. When her mother decides to marry the local squire, Cordelia and his sister, Hester, form an unlikely alliance. Pickens's portrayal of Cordelia's developing independence is breathtaking. A victim of both emotional and physical abuse, primarily via magic, she is desperate to escape, terrified of being caught but ultimately willing to do what needs to be done. Foss's portrayal of Hester's fear for her brother's safety and rage at her own lack of agency is sadly believable--and utterly staggering when channeled into a showdown against the ruthless enchantress and her familiar.
