    This is so great at getting into Bunny's head and making him into someone understandable and complicated.

    Summary

    Did you know that The Charioteer originally had eighteen chapters? Well, neither did Mary Renault. However, it was inevitable that someone, some day, would learn where the lost chapters had been mislaid.

    A great post-script, and the mood and tone really suit the source.

    A wonderfully warm, funny story about Joel returning to Cicely. Captures the characters and the tone of the show perfectly.

    A look into the future for Beth and Addy. I love how this captures their relationship, a bond that neither of them seems to want but can't resist; and the language is great, reminds me of Abbott but with the writer's own twist to it.

    Summary

    Marie could have managed horrible dreams. The soldiers who returned from the trenches missing arms and echoes in their eyes, they had horrible dreams. Everyone had nightmares. She dreamed of Papa tangled in the barbed wire, split in half by a winter hail of bullets as he drowned in mud, but that was normal.

    Instead, ever and even before the Great War to end all Wars, horrible thoughts constantly bubbled up. Marie didn't know where the thoughts came from or even why.

    The Comtesse Melusine de l'Eau could have told her that they came from under the skin.

    A young woman is wooed by the Robber Bridegroom and seduced by Melusine, in a little village after WWI. Full of amazingly vivid, arresting imagery.
