The Sadeian Woman by Angela Carter
challenging
dark
informative
slow-paced
2.0
Honestly, my main take away from this book is confusion, with some introspection and interest to the side. I feel this was a dissertation for a topic that I was not well versed on with many of the themes either going over my head or being jumpy and disjointed. I adore Carter's fiction and so will do some research to see what I was missing this time. Oh well!
