This was surreal, off-the-wall ridiculousness and I legit loved every word of it.
Astounding. Not sure if I would have been as excited if I had not read [b:In Search of the Swan Maiden: A Narrative on Folklore and Gender|768293|In Search of the Swan Maiden A Narrative on Folklore and Gender|Barbara F.

Love, love, love this story. I fell in love with the movie years ago, and I almost can't believe I love the book even more. Alice in Wonderland through the lens of puberty and coming of age.
As much as I enjoyed this story and how it is told, I must admit this: It is not going to be for everybody, or even for most.
