Brilliant: An astonishing little book describing the throes of a woman caught up in a hopeless post-apocalyptic world. Beautifully written, in a dark, haunting, extistential style.

This fascinating read felt like a warped fairy tale, and had a bit of a hallucinatory effect. It breaks down the demarcation between heroes and villains, pointing out how social distinctions are a matter of how one perceives and defines things. ( )

A quick read, simply written, a love story in the wilderness that is more about survival than love. I have only read The Magic Toyshop by her, and found this very different, but certainly not bad. ( )

A post-apocalyptic story, which is a genre I really like. This one didn't quite do it for me, however: I found the world fascinating, but the characters who inhabited it remained strangers to me (and the anti-climatic climax didn't help much, either). A book I didn't so much enjoy as find occasionally interesting.
