Prompt and Secure
The book arrived quickly and in the condition described. Just what I'd been expecting--no unpleasant surprises. I would order from them again.
Fans of Toni Morrison
How have I never read Byatt before? She rivals Toni Morrison for prose, attention to detail, and emotional complexity of characters. Absolutely breathtaking. I find myself seriously contemplating the book days after I've finished it. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
high quality literature
I am neither a poetry nor a romance fan, so I had difficulties with staying interested in this book in the beginning. But I must say that the quality of writing is so different from most of contemporary fictions, alot of which are too simplistic, even fluffy. This book requires serious concentration and a good dictionary, all worth because only the ones with literary discipline, integrity, and knowledge can write such a beautiful and ambitious book. This book has so much to offer and the author manages beautifully to put writings--epic poems, myths, letters and critics etc--by different characters without creating distraction. Totally worth struggling through. The only problem with me was that I totally predicted one of the main mysteries, which was a little bit anticlimactic.
