The entry in my list of 1000 novels reads - WTF? followed by the date. Given that this is a really short novel, this should have been a quick read. Or at least I think it should have been. Maybe its my post pregnancy brain, maybe its my complete lack of knowledge of Greek mythology but I had no idea of what was going on. The story follows a woman who suddenly becomes the executor of her ex-lover's will. In order to fulfill her duty she has to move into a motel in a particular town and gets embroiled in a mystery that may or may not be a conspiracy. There are lots of references to LSD in the novel and it wouldn't surprise me if this novel had been written whilst heavily under the influence. You get the impression of images and ideas blurring into one, separating and then reconvening several pages later.
