For class
Great book to analyse, with notes and the intro, queer/ postcol reading but as a book is a little flat for me

absolutely gas. i've seen the film before and i was curious what the book was like. it was very gripping. larsen's prose is succinct yet laden with alternative meanings. the foil she creates between clare and irene is phenomenal. loved it.
