It's about a brother and sister who are at odds. The woman has locked
herself away and is reading a pulpish sf novel, at least part of which is
included. It's been over 30 years since I read it, and that's about all of
the plot I remember, but I recall enjoying the book a lot. I was still a
teenager.

"October Light" was a wonderful book. I remember very little except that it
was basically about two old people, one of whom was reading a book about
something totally different. I must have read that in 1977 or so, shortly
after it came out. I relly should read "Grendel."
