The City of Woven Streets<\/span><\/a> (<\/strong><\/em>US- <\/strong>The Weaver)<\/strong><\/em> (2015) by Emmi It\u00e4ranta, translated by the author (Harper Voyager, 2016).<\/strong><\/p>\n

“In the City of Woven Streets, human life has little value. You practice a craft to keep you alive, or you are an outcast, unwanted and tainted. Eliana is a young weaver in the House of Webs, but secretly knows she doesn\u2019t really belong there. She is hiding a shameful birth defect that would, if anyone knew about it, land her in the House of the Tainted, a prison for those whose very existence is considered a curse. When an unknown woman with her tongue cut off and Eliana\u2019s name tattooed on her skin arrives at the House of Webs, Eliana discovers an invisible network of power behind the city\u2019s facade. All the while, the sea is clawing the shores and the streets are slowly drowning.”<\/p>\n

Memory of Water<\/em><\/span><\/a> (2012) by Emmi It\u00e4ranta, translated by the author (Harper Voyager, 2014).<\/strong><\/p>\n

“In the far north of the Scandinavian Union, now occupied by the power state of New Qian, seventeen-year-old Noria Kaitio studies to become a tea master like her father. It is a position that holds great responsibility and a dangerous secret. Tea masters alone know the location of hidden water sources, including the natural spring that once provided water for her whole village. When Noria’s father dies, the secret of the spring reaches the new military commander . . . and the power of the army is vast indeed. But the precious water reserve is not the only forbidden knowledge Noria possesses, and resistance is a fine line. Threatened with imprisonment, and with her life at stake, Noria must make an excruciating, dangerous choice between knowledge and freedom.”<\/p>\n
