Status Updates From Maiden Castle

Definitely noticed the tonal shift from the start of the chapter "Lovie", turning the narrative focus to Wizzie and her thoughts. I think I read somewhere that this is likely due to the suggestion from (or even from the pen of!) JCP's partner Phyllis Playter.

Closer to Wolf Solent's protagonist-focus, as opposed to the polyphony of A Glastonbury Romance (and to a lesser extent, Weymouth Sands). I understand that this one is seen as the runt of the Dorset novels, but I'm enjoying it thoroughly - something about Powys' writing is very comforting to me, even when he's getting bizarre.
