Eversion

Back when you think this is a Victorian Gothic... and then it's a HG Wells adventure... then a piece of 50s pulp SF... and then....

This is a wonderful, multifaceted novel, written in a variety of styles but with a strong POV element with a slightly archaic narrator - who is both more and less than he seems. The way the story bends to the shifting realities, and then you're in the Real - whatever that is - and it isn't like you thought it was, and what will happen to the Doctor and his Object of Affection now?

You won't guess. Just go along with a very good ride, and marvel at how Reynolds manages to bring the train home.
