The mother of 'Anna' in this novel dies in childbirth and she brought up by her father and a governess, in a remote Pyrenean village. When she is thirteen, her father shoots himself and she Is adopted by a rich, beautiful and ruthless aunt who stows her in a boarding school.

- 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.
