Absolutely, if I can remember the plot. It's a few years since I read it. :eek:

Sounds like something I'd like to read! Gonna check out my library to see if they have it. Misfit, please post about it after you read it - I might just have to see if I can order it online.

Will do Andrea. This is one of those lesser known out of print books that I always feel obliged to get a review written, especially if I want to share the love.

Yay! I just picked up my copy at the library today. It's huge, but the font isn't terribly small so maybe not as scary as it first appears.

This ILL is courtesy of the Lewis and Clark library in the State of Montana.
