Muriel Axon has been in a mental
institution for a number of years and was recently released. She takes on the personas of some of the
women she meets in order to exact revenge on those she believed wronged her in
the past. When in actuality it was her
abusive mother who probably did the most harm.
I finished this book right before I
left on vacation two weeks ago and the only feelings I can bring up now about it is that it
was quite strange. Also, since it was
written in the 80s it was interesting how technology would have changed the
story. A few times I was thinking why
didn’t someone just use their cell phone?
Then I had to remember what timeframe I was in.
I wanted to experience the writer,
but not read her recent tomes on English history, and she has a very literary
writing style which I enjoyed. The story
she chose to tell however was quite odd.
