Who Was Changed and Who Was Dead by Barbara Comyns

4.0

Such a peculiar work! My first experience with Comyns was [b: Our Spoons Came from Woolworths|1818286|Our Spoons Came from Woolworths|Barbara Comyns|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1477246630l/1818286._SY75_.jpg|893588], which, while certainly admirable in its depiction of autobiographical events, was so unrelentingly depressing that it wasn't an enjoyable read. Who Was Changed... is dark, to be sure, but is also an engrossing page-turner. Comyns mixes the classic English countryside satire novel with elements of horror and thriller to it, forming a work unlike anything I've read before. The turns come suddenly, the writing is concise but cunning—I really don't know how to describe this, to be honest, but if the jacket summary sounds interesting, just give it a read.
