This is... awful. Jane literally cries every few pages, and she has absolutely no backbone. The writing is also so bad. I can't believe that THE Tanith Lee wrote this.

Reeeeaaallly? I've wondered about this book for years! I've heard from so many people that it's her "masterpiece" but I frankly have found the cover art (no matter the cover) and the title off-putting for some reason! My old book club had read this before I joined and acted like none of her later books ever measured up!

Another notable book is Biting the Sun, which explores sexuality/gender/climate change and a whole bunch of other topics in a utopian society.
I loved her Black Unicorn series, and Red as Blood, and I have a great fondness for A Heroine of the World, which fascinates me in its presentation of a passive character who nevertheless changes her world!
