This is a brief novel (130 small and sometimes sparsely populated pages) by one of the darlings of the academic Brit literary crowd. Set in the present with deep past cultural references and an anthropology recreation gone awry. Moss does write beautifully and the book is provocative. Certainly worth the time, especially since it is so brief.
While it is quite suspenseful, nothing here ever feels really dangerous and the feminist issues are predictable enough. Based on this ( my first experience with her work), reading more Moss does not feel urgent, but I would definitely give her another go.
