Three sisters fell in love with a star. (This is not quite true. But wait and listen to my story.) They lived very near the edge of the world, where the rivers run faster and faster until they fall roaring off the rim, into the infinite void. Where birds with feathers of smoke and fire build nests, and hiss at passers-by as they brood over their eggs in smoldering trees. Where stars, sometimes, come down to visit the earth.

"Three sisters fell in love with a star. I told you this was not quite true. One sister fell in love with her own desire and one sister fell in love with a man and one sister fell in love with the sky. "This is absolutely beautiful. It has,like all Hodge's stories I've read so far, this ancient, dark fairytale like atmosphere. Her writing is as always so gorgeous, and musical! This story is short and sweet and it has a 'happy ending' of kinds. There's no way not to love it. I found out a whole set of her other shorts and I'm planning on reading them all! I wish she would gather them in a collection and release it in book format to keep this gems in my shelf!
