Angela Carter
Rating 
It's Angela Carter's last book, significant in that she wrote it during the last stages of the disease which eventually killed her. Families, illegitimate children, the theatre and Willy Shakespeare are just some of the ingredients in this bawdy, sparkling and pithily written book. I could have given it five stars if it weren't for the fact that Carter's short stories somehow always trump her novels.
