I started reading this and then everyone else in the household got sick (although not with yellow fever or cholera) so it ended up on hold for a bit.
My mother had the similar misfortune of starting to read Fever Season in the middle of a smothering heat wave, which she had to wait out before she could pick the book back up again.
Mark as an author will always mean The Ennead to me, a stunningly brilliant YA one-volume fantasy that I am enthralled by and argued (in my head) with in equal measure since I first read it as a teenager.
You are the first other person I've met who's read that! I have a secondhand paperback copy and one other fantasy of hers called Aquarius (1982) and I've never read anything else. What are her realist books like?
and it may be that I’m just not all that into contemporary het romances at the moment, unless they're also re-enacting National Velvet in the background.
