    <body><![CDATA[Another rich and absorbing novel by Richard Adams, one of my very favorite authors. In his well-known <em>Watership Down,</em> and in his lesser known <em>Shardik,</em> Adams creates a fictional world from which you emerge believing in its existence. In <em>The Girl in a Swing</em>, he creates Kathe, whose beauty and hedonism...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/20216532">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Richard Adams is 'hit or miss' with me.  'Maia', for instance,  seemed almost smutty when compared to the whimsical beauty of 'Watership Downs', though the imagery was equally stunning and the characters intriguing. I read it in its entirety but had a bad taste in my mouth at the end. However, this ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/73500016">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A gripping, twisting, erotic horror novel. Fascinating character development, even though questions remain at the end of the book. An unpredictable story (at least for me). This is a departure from most of what people know of Richard Adams' work.<br/><br/>It's like a tapestry of horror/supernatura...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64917894">more...</a>]]></body>
