Doombad's life of melancholic ease changes utterly when she is sent to a far away city to become something, after she rejects all the suitors in her village. The perturbed suitors: Parrotox and Tree-he do their utmost to find her. A compelling atmospheric portrayal of life through the eyes of the un-socialised, unclothed girl, whose dress is her live companion through the early ordeals in the city. 110 oil paintings of exquisite spontaneity combine figuration and abstraction to devastating effect; full colour plates throughout offer a visual counterpoint to every page of the story, which shocks and amuses with operatic intensity.
