Reviews

Essential Angela Carter: magic realism, sex, feminism, and just a lot sinister. I loved this book, as much as in parts it had me reading through my fingers! Rosie, The Book Grocer   'The boldest of English women writers' Lorna Sage 'Her writing is pyrotechnic -- fuelled with ideas, packed with images and spangling the night with her starry language' Observer
