Little, Big (John Crowley)

This deep, rich, comPlex fantasy novel is justly famous for the intelligence and imagination it brings to the relationship between the realms of Faerie and reality. It follows a vast cast of characters, linked by blood and by fate, to play out a Tale that will bring to a safe end this relationship, preserving the magical within the real. At the heart of the Tale is a house, Edgewood, which is really many houses, all overlapping, and also a door between realms. I was definitely caught up in the story, but ultimately it left me untouched - too opaque, too symbolic, with too many unanswered questions for my logical mind.
