interesting, but strange read.
In this brilliantly imagined novel, Angela Carter explores the tormented world of adolescence and the heart's ability to withstand even the deepest sorrows. "A tour de force . . . put out shoots of all Carter's fascinations, which turns up in her later books: illusion and stage magic, myths and folktales, sorcery, the allure of suffering, incest, revenge, escape."-- ( quote from amazon.com )

"Oh, it is absurd to have a hard and fast rule about what one should read and what one shouldn't. More than half of modern culture depends on what one shouldn't read."
Oscar Wilde

I love my books enough to set them free for others to enjoy...hope that is you, but if not feel free to pass it along for another to enjoy!
this book is headed off overseas to my secret santa for their enjoyment!


"A book is a mysterious object, I said, and once it floats out into the world, anything can happen. All kinds of mischief can be caused, and there's not a damned thing you can do about it. For better or worse, it's completely out of your control."
Paul Auster

Thank you for this princess-peapod.

I'm afraid this isn't one I would chose to read, but I may pass it on to my sister-in-law Kentlass who may be interested in it.
