A wonderful farce, and similar to the Brontë sisters writing. I needed this. I needed lack of character development. Adorable.

I was bewildered, after I had done up the buttons, by the fact that the material hung about me in great folds. Finding no other explanation, I realized that I appeared to have shrunk quite drastically. That this should have happened in the few days since I had last worn the dress, without cause and without my really noticing, was profoundly disturbing. It was as if I were disappearing; or rather, as if the space I was entitled to occupy were being gradually withdrawn. The change made me nervous, as if without weight I might be overlooked or swept away.

This is my favourite book I’ve read in a while. It is laugh out loud funny and so weird and simply delightful. The descriptions are hilarious and astute and I look forward to reading this book again and again
