Ten Thousand Things - Maria Dermout - Library Binding

Felicias homecoming brings her close to an uncanny and dangerous world, full of mystery and violence, where objects tell tales, the dead come and go, and the past is as potent as the present. Mrs. Dermout ... is an extraordinary sensualist.... Her instinct for beauty results, ... in passages of a startling, unadorned, three dimensional clarity....
