Victoria (YSB) -
Helpful Score: 1
A VERY different sort of tragic love story. Though the setting is in the early 1960s, this tale has a true Victorian-Gothic feel to it. And the narration! How fascinating for the narrator to not have his own pull until the end of the book! That in and of itself makes the book cry for re-reading, for discussion - even for study. It's impossible to really understand the characters - the two main lovers - as their individual acts are horrific, but at the same time, horrifyingly fascinating.
I truly enjoyed this odd little book and would most certainly read another by this dark author. Though I probably wouldn't overly recommend this to one to just anyone.
