i couldn't get into the line of beauty until about half-way in, because you don't see the stakes until then, but it's quite a powerful book once you reach the end, i think.
jean rhys' prose is gorgeous - sparse and yet brimming with sensuousness. as for pascale quiviger, she's not particularly well-known at all - she's a french-canadian writer, i think - and her prose is almost poetry.
