Love

Angela Carter's work in long form and short form is characterised by the richness of the prose and imagination. 'Love' is no exception and this short novel is that of a bizarre love triangle. Some of the passages and descriptive prose are haunting.

Angela Carter work has always been individual and unique. 'Love' begins with a passage denoting a loss of gravity, a sense of madness:

"One day, Annabel saw the sun and the moon at the same time. The sight filled her with a terror which entire consumed her and did not leave her until the night closed in catastrophe for she had no instinct for self-preservation if she was confronted by ambiguities.'
