"The Candy Factory is Sylvia Fraser's fictional excursion into today's affluent urban society. It's a bold, sensuous novel, populated with eleven brilliantly realized characters, each endeavouring in his or her own way to salvage a fragment of hope from the violence and turmoil in which they- and all of use- live. A book that spans the entire range of human emotion, The Candy Factory reaffirms belief in the power of love to change, of madness to heal, of compassion and insight to enlighten. It is a powerful, brilliantly conducted expedition into the tangled relationships between the senses, the classes, and the generations- a literary tour ode force that reaffirms the great promise of Sylvia Fraser's first novel, Pandora" (from jacket flap)
