<FONT FACE="Verdana">I don’t know her work well, but I very much enjoyed <Life>. More fiction of science than science fiction, if that makes any sense. It somehow reminded me of Byatt’s <Possession>. <BR>
<BR>
What I’ve heard about this new series isn’t great.<BR>

<BR>
But I'm having trouble with her fantasy series "Bold As Love". What's happened to that beautiful Englishwoman? She's gone dead on the page. <BR>
<BR>
Is anyone else in the group a reader of Gwen Jones?<BR>
<BR>
I'd be interested in hearing your opinion.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks to all of you<BR>
