A wonderful Litten (I feel awful - I've completely forgotten who) sent me a parcel of books a few years ago (now our post office system has almost completely collapsed). I read Fates and Furies and it was good, but intense. I can't explain why it took me so long to pick this one up. Her writing is definitely unique; I often find it difficult to understand her characters emotionally. But the story is engrossing and the magical realism so well done.
