The most unrealistic thing about this whole book, it strikes me, is not the outlandish, exaggerated academics, or two sets of hidden letters suddenly coming to light after 100 years and revealing a whole new history, or even any of the romance. It's that everyone in this who writes anything, from Blanche Glover to Ellen Ash to this Kercoz cousin are somehow all fantastically talented & fascinating writers.

Yay, they've run away together from all these appalling rotters! Oh, the relief.

Ooooh, finally a glimpse of Ragnarok - and by this point I am quite desperate to read Ask to Embla. Come on woman, you know exactly what you've done. Dish these love poems up, I MUST KNOOOOW.

I'm completely carried away by the ambition of this. The way the author, with complete confidence, throws 60 pages of dense, Victorian, literary correspondence at you, drops potted, detailed biographies of side characters on you, offers a felt of references literary/religious/philosophical/scientific, some of them real, some of them imaginary, with an attitude of 'DEAL WITH IT, KIDDO'. And you *do*.

Can already tell that I'm going to be in love with this, and am attempting to ration it to make it last longer. I adore how Maud comes into the story as this deeply odd, coldly seething, unknowable near-antagonist who has so clearly got her own complex history and in no way presents as 'Potential Love Interest for Roland'.
