A Woman Appeared to Me by Renée Vivien

mysterious reflective sad fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character

This book was inspired by Vivien's own relationships, and I think it was told in such an imaginative way. It was beautifully whimsical and descriptive. Full of symbolism. 
It's definitely not a book for everyone, though. It's quite abstract, with no sense of place or time, you have to suspend your disbelief all throughout. There also isn't a plot, it's kinda like a stream of consciousness. An exploration of feeling through abstract metaphors. I think it's best read as poetry, not a novel.
But I realy enjoyed it. I thought it was beautifully written and very thought- provoking.
