Come See the Living Dryad

Nah, not for me.

The story was interesting, I would have loved a novel on this - a woman investigates the death of her great-great-grandmother, a “living Dryad”, a wood woman. She had Lewandowsky-Lutz dysplasia, “tree man” syndrome, an extreme reaction to papilloma virus that makes warts grow all over you, especially hands and feet, creating growth that looks like tree roots or bark... The narrator also has the disease. It's hereditary, sometimes hops over a generation.

It reads as real diary of a real person, I had to check it twice to be certain of that this is fiction. Very well written... in that way. As a story, it's not well written at all, because diaries don't make good fiction. People need to say things in fiction they won't say in diaries.

I would have loved this as a novel. This feels more like the notes I write for my novels :-D Maybe I should get those published :-D
