I ended up writing the review quite a long time after I had finished it, so evidently it's one of those books that sticks with you. I'm looking forward to reading some of her other books now.

I thought this was a great little book, although I never found it scary, which most seemed to. Certainly a little outside the Persephone cosy-canon, as it were. Great review!

Anyway, I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what further surprises the rest of the list will bring.

Marghanita Laski is indeed wonderful, and every book of hers that I have read so far is entirely different. Thank you for a lovely reminder of a unique little book.

I'm glad you liked this one - I enjoyed it too, and for such a short book it gave me a lot to think about.
