Are there any other fans out there?
Helen is the author of The Icarus Girl and The Opposite House, the latter being a book I've read four times and never fail to get lost in its poetry and beauty. She also wrote two plays but I can't, for the life of me, figure out what they're about!
If you've never heard of her, go out and get one of her books. They are some of the most beautiful books I have ever read.
