Synopsis

Nominated for the Compton Crook Award and both Locus and HOMer Best First Novel

The Interior Life is a fantasy novel about an ordinary American housewife who begins to hear voices in her head from a fantasy world. She never goes to the fantasy world and nobody from the fantasy world ever comes to this world. The story passes seamlessly between Sue in this world joining the PTA and painting the kitchen to Lady Amalia in the fantasy world battling the forces of Darkness. The weird thing is that this works. The stories reinforce each other, they drag you along by ratcheting, you want to follow both halves of what is happening, and the mundane details of Sue's life are not only enhanced by the fantasy in her head but made fascinating by it. -- Jo Walton, Tor.com

The author has graciously made this book available as a free download from her website (PDF).
