"Stunning"

Dark, unearthly, and filled the mystical moodiness of desire, impulse, and daydreams, we follow the unloved and unbreakable Janet, as she navigates sibling rivalry, societal boundaries, and the judgement of family and strangers alike. From birth til untimely death, she is misunderstood, mistaking it begrudged, and a victim of the stereotypes and restrictions associated with being a woman.
"Extremely funny!"

Wonderfully eccentric family, living in a castle in Scotland’s E. coast highlands with a motley collection of others. This book is beautifully and originally written in a very colourful style. Very descriptive of the difficulties of growing up if you are unconventional .
