4.0 out of 5 stars A Fantastic Voyage Across an Hysterical Sea, Jul 28 1998
This review is from: The Mothers Recompense (Paperback)
This novel which has gone undiscovered for many years deserves close scrutiny and ultimately a judgement on the heroine. The introduction invites the author to decide whether the mother is merely hysterical or has real cause for concern. Whatever the outcome it is a difficult and delightful decision to make
