This has been on my shelf for a while, I‘m not sure where it comes from.

This was apparently written in 1969, but the actual date of the events is fairly irrelevant.
I don't know how this book ended up on my shelf, but I was distantly familiar with the author's name and was curious to check her out.
Hmm. Not particularly my cup of tea.
I note I am not particularly prone to depression (and yes, I am extremely fortunate in that). Perhaps if I were, I would be able to relate more or understand better the narrative. As is, most of it seemed quite alien to me, and I was not inclined to spend much energy on deciphering why and when the POV shifted from first to third person.
In some ways Lucy struck me as the most relatable character, which is not saying much.
As I am quite stubborn at times, I did read through to the end, and even was intrigued by the waterfalls in the story, trying to decide what sort of symbolism the card trick or the final outing were meant to have. If any.
I am pretty open-minded, I think, so if I came across another book by Drabble I would give it a go, but I must say, based on this one, I wouldn't go out of my way.
