From the supplier: Angela Carter adopts the form of a Shakespearean comedy in her final novel, 'Wise Children.' The story, which is narrated by seventy-five year old Dora, is comparable to William Shakespeare's comedies because it transcends time and death by focussing on love and illusion. The tale is not a fantasy which refuses to acknowledge reality but a conscious effort to stress the possibilities of harmony.
