Review
"* 'An excessively stylish tale about a fatal love triangle in provincial Bohemia..The novel and its afterword form a fascinating study, an erstwhile aesthetic object unravelled into realism and commitment' Lorna Sage, Guardian * 'Carter observes her characters with a cool detachment as if they were specimens on a slide..She catches acutely the dying throes of the love generation, when Swinging London had run to seed' New Society * 'Angela Carter has language at her fingertips' New Statesman * 'Whatever her subject, Angela Carter' writes like a dream sometimes a nightmare' Sunday Telegraph"
Review
“Angela Carter has influenced a whole generation of fellow writers towards dream worlds of baroque splendour, fairy tale horror, and visions of the alienated wreckage of a future world.”
