This review is from: The Dream Years (Hardcover)
If you are even remotely interested in fantasy that is more than just a bunch of wizards and dragons and cliches, then read this book if you can find it. It combines Surrealism, revolution, the power of dreams... The main character must find himself, realize who he is and what he wants out of life, while his friend, the historical father of Surrealism Andre Breton, tries to influence his writing and personality. But he has met a strange woman from the future, and followers her to the Paris Revolution of 1968, and eventually to the revolution to end all revolutions. A great mixture of historical characters and fictional characters. The writing is consise and beautiful, saying just enough for the imagery to come alive.

The writing is amazingly good. Her characters have a sharp sense of humor, and I found myself laughing the whole way through. But this book is a serious piece of literature that should be integrated into the canon and read by students. Especially ones interested in Science Fiction and Fantasy. One of the great female science fiction/fantasy authors, up there with Madeline L'Eagle.
