This was weird. I am glad I read it because of its historical interest, but I can't say I enjoyed it, although the dated attitudes to ie, smoking during pregnancy made me smile a bit. Trigger warning for rape(s) and abuse, which the hero brushes off incredibly easily (not that that's necessarily a bad thing - at least, she's resilient). Too much mysticism (hence the photo of the book next to the Xmas crib), tarot & astrology for my liking.
