A wonderfully odd fantasy.
Keeping it brief for now (I might just write a longer piece elsewhere on it) if I were to offer some criticism that stopped it ascending to the top of my fantasy books list, it would be that the narrative change in the middle does slow things down a bit, while the acceleration of absurdities towards the end causes a certain amount of narrative breakdown, although that may have been the point, such as can be observed in Carrington's painted work.
Still, quite a good short novel as well as a good novel to read if one is hard up for any classic female authors of the fantastic and the weird that one may not have heard of before.
