The Book of Mrs Noah
註釋"A woman visiting Venice fantasizes that she is Mrs Noah. Her Ark, a vast, form-shifting construct of the imagination, is a water-borne library moored somewhere in the Lagoon, repository not only of creatures but of the entire knowledge of the human race. Travelling with her on her journey of self-exploration and survival are five story-telling Sybils, each representing a different aspect of women's experience down the centuries. Listening to these dark, funny, beautifully narrated tales - often of oppression - is the Gaffer, a rakish old man with much to learn."--Page 4 of cover.
