Wieder Angela Carter

Gestern Abend habe ich mein Buch über die Themse ausgelesen - es war nicht schlecht, aber das Buch aus derselben Serie über die Donau hat mir wesentlich besser gefallen.

Ich wollte es aber sowieso bald lesen, weil mir mein erstes Lese-Erlebnis mit Angela Carter schon sehr gut gefallen hat.

Omens of disaster, swiftly following, transport Melanie from rural comfort to London, to the Magic Toyshop. To the red-haired, dancing Finn, the gentle Francie, dumb Aunt Margaret and Uncle Phillip. Francie plays curious night music, Finn kisses fifteen-year-old Melanie in the mysterious ruins of the pleasure gardens. Brooding over all is Uncle Philip: Uncle Philip, with blank eyes the colour of wet newspaper, making puppets the size of men, and clockwork roses. He loves his magic puppets, but hates the love of man for woman, boy for girl, brother for sister…
