Who Was Changed and Who Was Dead by Barbara Comyns

5.0

Barbara Comyns has the knack of making the most tragic details seem light and the most sordid episodes seem fantastical. She sits somewhere between Zola at his best - think The Earth, but without heavy moralizing - and Evelyn Waugh, but a Waugh who bothers to understand and respect his characters, even while he subjects them to cruelty and satire. An extremely enjoyable book and I look forward to reading more by her.
