Reviews

[Jason · Rating 4 out of 5]

rereading Woman & Scarecrow, and also Cordelia Dream. Reading The Marble, too.

"Marble" hit very close to home!

As far as the book goes it's a good selection of plays the reason I gave it 4 stars is the themes of Marina Carrs poems some of them as a bit hard to stomach.
