I'd just read one from her, and I'm into the second book: the preface (which is from the '80, as it's a first translation on a physical book) mentions the lack of good writers that the '70s suffered, and she were one of those to change that behaviour; her writing style is fantastic, what seem to me from this early start (and by the - still - early editor's prefaces) is that "Day by Night", "Don't Bite the Sun" and its sequel "Drinking Sapphire Wine" (1977) were the most into SF, while others' would be more into the fantasy, or, as the editor mentions, fantasy "à la Tanith Lee"
.
Although "Day by Night" migh be the most close to the classic SF.
Thanks @ownedbycats.
