Abstract
The article presents a critical overview of Carmel Birdâs writing, particularly her four major novels. Suggesting that there is a continuity of pattern, theme and sometimes character, Walker examines Birdâs major concerns, and the narrative means by which these are expressed (such as fantasy and the Gothic; images and references). She argues that the novels under survey âraise profound questions: of the presence of evil in the world and the rise of charasmatic leaders who appear to be evil incarnateâ (275).
