I loved Oranges are Not the Only Fruit, but in another work of hers (about Napoleonic France) I was almost drowning, her writing can be so grim and almost hallucinatory.  Do any other of her books have the same deft touch as Oranges?

If you liked 'Oranges Aren't The Only Fruit', you'll love 'Written on the Body'.  It's one of my all-time favorite books!
