Title: Is this fantasy or the story of a disturbed mind?
Review: Having read "The Pillow Friend" feverishly from cover to cover, I'm still not sure if Agnes Grey suffers from delusions, or if she's lucky enough to be able to really have her wishes come true "as long as she accepts the consequences."Agnes is a very likeable character whose life is not fairy-tale perfect. Lisa Tuttle, whose works I've been reading since I was an adolescent, paints vivid, realistic identities when she creates people.How very ... odd ... that amazon.com advertises buckwheat pillows, those pillows for a good night's rest, on the page describing a book of dreams wrapped in nightmares like egg rolls!The story folds and unfolds like a piece of fabric, plot flowing smoothly from beginning to end. The patterns are slightly disturbing, and I'm still not sure whether it was madness or magic bringing gifts to Agnes. However, this tale is an incredibly enjoyable read, and it makes me want to continue my quest to find more Lisa Tuttle books.
