Reviews

'Lurks somewhere between the territory of Beardsley and Mervyn Peakes Gormenghast...shudderingly enjoyable' - Guardian 'The whole novel possesses a haunting, visionary quality most uncommon in present-day prose.' - Telegraph 'Colquhoun is a painterly stylist, her surrealist visions shrouded in Celtic mists.' - TLS 'An extraordinary book... Part Gothic fantasy, part emblematic progress through a dream world... It has a gripping hallucinogenic clarity.' - Snoo Wilson

She began visiting Cornwall during the Second World War, and eventually moved there, continuing to write, paint, and pursue the study of the occult until her death.
