This novel was published in paperback with 'Let Me Alone', also by Anna Kavan. 'Let Me Alone' is such a staggering novel (despite some flat spots in the middle) that it took me a while to pluck up the courage to attack 'A Scarcity of Love'. 'A Scarcity of Love' is not as strong a novel as 'Let Me Alone'(for me it hardly could be) but it is very rewarding.

If you search for 'Let Me Alone' at Amazon.com you will not find it with the other Anna Kavan works. However, it is in the Amazon.com catalogue under the author's alternative - and very rarely used - earlier publishing name of Helen Woods Edmonds.

I found this at a little library on a give away shelf. I popped open the front sleeve and read that the writing was similar to that of Sylvia Plath. That is what had me interested, so I took it home and began to read it. It is true that there is similar styles. I enjoyed the book very much. :D
