You may need to look her up second-hand, for some reason she drifts in and out of print (get your act together, Virago: they've been promising a reprint for years). Considering that it's not just my opinion, she's usually regarded as the greatest living German writer, this is somewhat puzzling; but hey, Patrick White got the Nobel Prize and his status cannot be denied either, and The Vivisector was out of print for ages too. Wolf managed to get herself banned in East Germany, she was writing a bit too honestly about WW2. Astonishing writer. I've raved on about Medea (my favourite) on Amazon (currently just up on the paperback, I'm copying it in on the hardback), there should be decent reviews of Cassandra out there as well.
