Read 'The Capital of Dreams' which immediately made me reread 'When We Lost Our Heads'. The aspects I specifically like are: the lyrical, almost fairytale-like prose, and the way it's juxtaposed against the mature content of her work; the moral complexity and unhinged queerness of her female protagonists; the vivid way in which she describes her historical settings and the specificity of her details 🙂
(Note that I also know of and like her previous work, but these two books in particular just make me lose my mind! Thank you for any and all recs!)
