That was a pretty fast read. Though the book touches on issues such as sexism, homophobia, and eating disorders (and more beyond), it does so within an overall inspiring and hopeful narrative.

Smith's stream-of-consciousness writing style took me some effort to get used to, but I think it worked out pretty well for this book specifically.

It may be short but it packs a punch.

Ali Smith’s re-telling of the myth of Iphis and Ianthe is packed with societal issues, all told using poetic prose and stream-of-consciousness; its a whirlwind read that needs more air-time!
