It begins mid-flood, ducks swimming in the drawing-room windows, \"quacking their approval\" as they sail around the room. \"What about my rose beds?\" demands Grandmother Willoweed. Her son shouts down her ear-trumpet that the garden is submerged, dead animals everywhere, she will be lucky to get a bunch. Then the miller drowns himself . . . then the butcher slits his throat . . . and a series of gruesome deaths plagues the villagers. The newspaper asks, \"Who will be smitten by this fatal madness next?\" Through it all, Comyns' unique voice weaves a text as wonderful as it is horrible, as beautiful as it is cruel. Originally published in England in 1954, this \"overlooked small masterpiece\" is a twisted, tragicomic gem.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barbara Comyns\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0984469311\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780984469314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dorothy a Publishing Project\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.90h x 5.50w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/10\/2011","brand":"Barbara Comyns","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44049424023807,"sku":"9780984469314","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fc8bfc27-950b-4806-821d-52be2fd71b7c.jpg?v=1685001462","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/who-was-changed-and-who-barbara-comyns-9780984469314","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
