"Her phantasy strikes me as like Eden
before the Fall—not that love and death did not happen there, but there was
no time in which they could have a meaning. "

Everything I've heard about this book terrifies and intrigues me. It looks like it will be a difficult undertaking: epistolary, in verse , phantasmagorical , tense. Yet I'm drawn to it completely. I'm going in blind though I have a vague knowledge about its darkness due to its setting ( 1930- 1940's) in 20th century Europe. Either it will change me or leave me frustrated and bald( from pulling out my hair )
