I've tried three times to read this book. The first was when I bought it in Pretoria 50 years ago. I got about 2/3 of the way through it and gave up. A later attempt didn't get me even that far. This time I forced myself to finish it. I didn't anjoy it much, and by the time I reached the end, Lilith's nature and fate remained unclear to me. Perhaps I should read it again.
