Reviews
A wildly inventive exploration of the mother-daughter relationship, by the wonderful Michele Roberts.
Some of the most voloptuous language since Joyce... so rich, so crammed with stories, imagination and visions.
A wonderful feat... the descriptive writing, the sheer joy of words...
A strong savour of ORLANDO about it- that is, of Woolf at her most flirtatious, bold and Colette-ish.
