A review by cgduckworth
The Vet's Daughter by Barbara Comyns
4.0
the more i consider the ending of this book, which initially seemed surprising, the more i find it perfect and right, especially:
(spoiler)
"Grabbing hands stretched towards me, but I willed myself to rise higher because I was so afraid of falling on the people. I did manage for a little to float horizontally away from the crowd; but, when I next looked down, they were all below me again. I was so exhausted I knew I could not stay above them much longer. Soon I’d be down amongst them."
