Sure! I am going to dictate this and not fix the syntax and spelling etc, to spare my hands, or the comment might not get written… And yes she has written a lot of books, very different from each other too.
travel light: and absolutely lovely fairy tale book which was written as a feminist response to The Hobbit.
memoirs of a space woman: 1960s sci-fi, Kind of meandering but pretty cool. The blurb on the back says "...this remarkable novel explores with compassion and wit the infinite possibilites of erotic relationships between a human space traveller and the bizarre incumbents of the planets she visits." this is not actually accurate.
The bull calves: mid 18th century Scotland after the 45, family drama, very historically dense.
blood of the martyrs: the early Christians in Rome, it kind of has the feel of a socialist movement.
the big house: children's book set in 1950s Scotland, creative take on tamlin.
The corn king and the spring queen: a heavy brick of a historical book, set in the ancient world. It's been some time since I read it though.
Lobsters on the agenda: local politics in Scotland, mid 20th century.
We have been warned: 1930s, fascism on the rise (that's what the warning is for), socialist politics, polyamory, abortion…
