Goblin Fruit is one of Margaret Power's three 'neo-Victorian' novels (together with Porphyria's Lover and Lily). While the story is intriguing and also clearly linked to the famous Victorian Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (the cover image is Dante Gabriel Rossetti's 'Proserpine'), the writing style didn't attract me. It jumped between different viewpoints and stories, leaving the reader to infer much. If you're into a bit more of an experimental narrative in a historical novel, do read this, but for me it didn't work.

If you like this, you might also be interested in Barbara Hanrahan's The Albatross Muff.
