Our main viewpoint character is Eve Quinn, a successful copywriter who's decided to retreat to rural anonymity for a while to get out from under the skirts of a foolish engagement. The writing's often a bit bumpy (sometimes, I suspect, because copyeditors tried to out-think the original text) and the characterization can be a bit skimpy, but the end product's nevertheless very pleasing.ĭon't Open the Door! is set in one of those communities where just about everyone's pretty chi-chi yet there are pockets of abject poverty. There's something I find immensely appealing about Ursula Curtiss's strange amalgams of dark comedy, psychological thriller and social satire.
