Welcome to Litsy!

I definitely don't think I'm the target audience for this one. It was ok. It had some interesting, thought provoking points (hence the 3 stars) but it was repetitive and a little dull and lacking for actual storyline. I preferred the first story Mrs Manstey's View, but only barely.

I went between 2 and 3 stars for this one so I'm rounding up and giving it the 3.

⭐⭐.5/5 . Two short stories about women and marriage, whilst nice but not interesting enough.

Certainly doesn't sound like #afairytaleofNY. #winterwonderland @TrishB @Cinfhen

Thank you @batsy, I am going to read it now. Edith! ♥️

A lovely person called @batsy has sent these awesome goodies to me. Garfield is so funny, I will certainly have laugh out loud moments while perusing it. And yay, another Edith Wharton! I am loving her writing in The Age of Innocence. That cover of AAIW is simply superb! The postcard is cute, hello to Malaysia (I hope to visit someday), and I am going to use the little diary soonly soon! Merci beaucoup, mon chéri! 💜

"If marriage was the slow life-long acquittal of a debt contracted in ignorance, then marriage was a crime against human nature."

Wharton dissects an unconventional marriage and a lonely widow with tragic results in these short stories.
