Author: Tanith Lee
Details: (c) 1976-1977 Tanith Lee; Pub Hamlyn Paperbacks 1979; ISBN 0 600 33001 X
Verdict: Don't bite the sun / Drinking sapphire wine has some interesting ideas but feels dated and heavy-handed.
Reasons for reading it: I thought I had read somewhere that Lee is very good at explorations of sexuality, but it's possible I'm confusing this book with something else.
How it came into my hands: One of the very fun Charing Cross Road second-hand bookshops.
( detailed review (spoilery) )
Basically, my feeling is that this book has some strong elements but really hasn't aged well.
