The Vet's Daughter by Barbara Comyns

5.0

I'm so glad I read this book and "discovered" Barbara Comyns. I can't wait to read more of her work. I love the quality of other-worldly "realism." The Vet's Daughter combines a dusty, brutal reality with a fairy tale atmosphere I quite liked. This is a strange and sad book, but there are moments of humor and absurdity, especially in some of the dialogue. A hidden gem.
