    BOOKENDS
    Psyche in a Dress by Francesca Lia Block
    Psyche has known Love, but she is not a goddess. Also Orpheus and Hades. She has been an actress for her father, an unknown to her mother. She has been a muse and maenad. She has discovered self-loathing, emotional abuse, bruises, punishments, trials; but also truth, love, passion in this journey of life.
    This is beautifully written, in prose poetry that evokes mystery and magic. The characterizations of greek mythology may be difficult to follow, but the journey of Psyche through her teenage years and into adulthood is one that can be related to. A quick but careful read.
