- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Kavan's unique writing style is somewhere between night and day, dream and reality, madness and sanity, delerious and sober. This is her best work, with the setting and characters balanced perfectly and yet contrasted against each other. It is surprising that Kavan is not a better known writer in popular circles.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5What a visceral depiction of human hell. This was like a mix of Sartre's No Exit and a Shirley Jackson story of domestic lockdown.
