Reviews / Votes
Her characters are rounded and vivid, and indeed enlivened by a baroque diffuseness of description.... The descriptions are lyrical, sensuous and subjective.... - London Times Literary Supplement; ""It is a remarkably beautiful novel, rich in imagination, profound in insight, flawless in style."" - Chicago TribuneMore details
