Mrs. Caliban by Rachel Ingalls

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Too long?
It seems like an average length for SFF books that came out at that time.

Of course, the Language of sand was another book that could have sent us to the dictionary ( The main character was a lexicographer ) , but it actually had the definitions in the book

FYI: today's Groupon is $10 for $20 at Barnes & Noble. They are, however, slammed right now, and people can't log in through the main site. (You can log in through their backup site -- my. groupon. com.)

I like Colette's Cheri, and Marguerite Duras' The Lover -- although The Lover is definitely a novel, although it is a slim one. It's very dense.
