My first taste of Lisa Tuttle has left me wanting for more. Wonderfully dark and surreal, it is written the language of dreams, and more than a story, it's an atmosphere and a landscape of madness. It is an uncanny reflection of real life and it's sometimes difficult to draw the line between reality and dream. Fantastic! (

Neglected and disturbed, Agnes craves a perfect companion, a friend who will share and understand all. When she's seven, it's a doll; when she's 13, it's a horse; when she's 17, it's a first lover; when she's 22, it's a dreamy poet of a husband. But magic is tricky -- be careful what you wish for. This dark, complex fantasy novel asks the age-old question, at times in a shockingly literal fashion: Can you have your cake and eat it, too?
