A tale of contention over love and money - among dragons. Jo Walton returns with a very different kind of fantasy story: the tale of a family dealing with the death of their father, of a son who goes to law for his inheritance, a son who agonizes over his father's deathbed confession, a daughter who falls in love, a daughter who becomes involved in the abolition movement, and a daughter sacrificing herself for her husband. Except that everyone in the story is a dragon, red in tooth and claw. Here is a world of politics and train stations, of churchmen and family retainers, of courtship and country houses ... in which, on the death of an elder, family members gather to eat the body of the deceased. In which society's high-and-mighty members avail themselves of the privilege of killing and eating the weaker children, which they do with ceremony and relish, growing stronger thereby.… (mere)

Work Information

Tooth and Claw af Jo Walton (2003)

  1. 40
    Framley Parsonage af Anthony Trollope (InfoQuest)
    InfoQuest: As Walton notes in the book's introduction, Trollope's Framley Parsonage provides some of the plot and characters for Tooth and Claw and is a very good Victorian novel (of the Barsetshire series, though it can easily stand alone).
  2. 40
    A Natural History of Dragons af Marie Brennan (MyriadBooks)
    MyriadBooks: For the Victorian setting, with dragons.
  3. 30
    Soulless af Gail Carriger (MyriadBooks)
    MyriadBooks: For Victorian heroines of inhuman nature.
  4. 30
    Sorcerer to the Crown af Zen Cho (Herenya)
  5. 20
    The Goblin Emperor af Katherine Addison (octopedingenue)
  6. 11
    The Magicians and Mrs. Quent af Galen Beckett (Mint.ChocolateOcelot)
    Mint.ChocolateOcelot: Tooth and Claw is similar to Magicians & Mrs. Quent because of the Society of it. Things like marrying outside your social class, fancy parties, and where Mr. So-and-so was last night are all issues that characters in both books face. Unless you don't care for books with human characters, I think if you enjoyed Tooth and Claw, you will enjoy The Magicians and Mrs. Quent… (mere)

    Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions af Edwin A. Abbott (beyondthefourthwall)
    beyondthefourthwall: Well-developed thought-experiments about slightly alternative societies, partially satirising Victorian Britain.

This was wonderful and I. want. more!
  jazzbird61 | Feb 29, 2024 |
A comedy of manners where Jane Austen meets dragons in this unusual book. It’s really quite bonkers! The dragons wear hats for certain occasions which, as I understand it, symbolise how wealthy they are. To me, at first, it read like a young adult novel but as I progressed, I began to enjoy it more. It did make me giggle at times and the images of dragons in hats which kept appearing in my mind’s eye were quite hilarious. I’m not sure whether I was supposed to find them funny but I did. Despite that, there is a good plot and a variety of characters to keep the reader engaged. All in all not a bad book but probably not my genre! I’ve given myself a Brownie point for reading it! 🐲😄 ( )

Absolutely fucking delightful! Jane Austen comedy of manners but where all the characters are dragons; absolutely masterpiece of the fucking around with alien cultures jawn that I love deeply.

The plot starts with a dispute over who gets to eat the recently deceased father's body, and ends in a hilarious courtroom drama that I would love to see adapted for screen, but that doesn't give much away at all: there's lots more plot and some great characters, including radicals and activists of many stipes.

Surprisingly fun to read. Basically a Victorian novel where all the characters are dragons. ( )

Este es un libro curioso y diferente. Narra la historia de una familia que se enfrenta a la muerte de su padre, de un hijo que acude a la ley para reclamar su herencia, de otro que se atormenta con la confesin que le hizo su progenitor en su lecho de muerte; de una hija que se enamora, de otra que se implica en el movimiento abolicionista y de una ms que se sacrifica por su marido. Salvo que todos los protagonistas de esta historia son dragones de garras y colmillos ensangrentados... Tenemos aqu un mundo de polticos y estaciones de ferrocarril, de cortejos y mansiones en el campo... Un mundo en el que al morir un anciano, los miembros de su familia se renen... Una sociedad en la que los miembros ms poderosos se aprovechan de sus privilegios para hacerse ms fuertes.

Man, her last work, who seem'd so fair,
Such splendid purpose in his eyes,
Who roll'd the psalm to wintry skies,
Who built him fanes of fruitless prayer,

Who trusted God was love indeed
And love Creation's final law—
Tho' Nature, red in tooth and claw
With ravine, shriek'd against his creed—

Who loved, who suffer'd countless ills,
Who battled for the True, the Just,
Be blown about the desert dust,
Or seal'd within the iron hills?

No more? A monster then, a dream,
A discord. Dragons of the prime,
That tare each other in their slime,
Were mellow music match'd with him.

Alfred, Lord Tennyson, from
In Memoriam AHH, 1850.
She'd like me to bring a dragon home, I suppose. It would serve her right if I did, some creature that would make the house intolerable to her.

Anthony Trollope, Framley Parsonage, 1859

This is for my aunt, Mary Lace, for coming so far down the road towards fantasy for me, and for coming down so many other roads with me, plenty of them real as well as metaphorical.
