Description
THE VICTORIAN CHAISE-LONGUE FROM PERSEPHONE BOOKSThe Victorian Chaise Longue first came out in 1953. It is a very short book, almost a novella, about a young married woman who lies down on a chaise longue and wakes to find herself imprisoned in the body of her alter ego ninety years before. Lisa Appignanesi has described it as 'rare instance of what one could call Gothic realism'. It also impressed Penelope Lively: This is time travel fiction, but with a difference disturbing and compulsive instead
The Victorian Chaise-Longue first came out in 1953. It is a very short book, almost a novella, about a young married woman who lies down on a chaise-longue and wakes to find herself imprisoned in the body of her alter ego ninety years before. Lisa Appignanesi has described it as 'rare instance of what one could call Gothic realism'.
It also impressed Penelope Lively: ‘This is time travel fiction, but with a difference… disturbing and compulsive... instead of making it into a form of adventure, what Marghanita Laski has done is to propose that such an experience would be the ultimate terror… so Melanie/Milly clings to the belief that she is dreaming for as long as she possibly can; the point at which she is forced to abandon this comfort and search for other explanations is her plunge into nightmare.... In the stifling, menacing atmosphere in which Melanie finds herself there is another dark, unspoken theme. Sex. Milly has been in some way disgraced… Once again the chaise-longue is the hinge between the two planes of existence. The site of rapture, of ecstasy – that is the implication…’

Grump lobster toy
Color: Red Lobster
My girl blood-eagled this poor thing within minutes but she had one heck of a time doing it! If you're looking for durable, this probably isn't for you. If, however, you're looking for some quality entertainment for you and your dog, look no further. A little reconstruction and ol' Larry was ready for round two of being eviscerated. Solid toy, real cute.

Not a terrible toy
Color: Blue Cow
Not a terrible product, but for a super sure it doesn’t last very long. It’s cute, but this is meant for definitely a small two small medium dog.
