Thank you. I have had "Ammonite" on my to-read list for a while, and this just moved it up the pile.

You say that it deals a lot with "lesbians, mind-body interactions, the physical world, and the details of how things work" and yet "lacks humor." Since most of those things are things that I find humorous in my daily life (if not always side-splitting slapstick; often the humor is very dark.) I am curious to see how her work will read to me, if she deals with those topics in a way that doesn't seem to acknowledge that they may have humor.
