This book is classified as lesbian erotica but it’s more bizarre and disconcerting in the style of Lovecraft with some obsessive sexual tension. The book is a reflection of her youth by our unreliable narrator, Esther. The stories have a dreamy, fantastical style of her memories of life in Paris, Egypt, and England in the 1930s or so.
Interesting read by a prolific author. The only other books I’ve read by Tanith Lee are the Flat Earth series.
