its was a interestion book. a bit confusing but it was a good read
This is a collection of 3 stories about 3 different homes, and the lives and loves of the people in them, in New England during the mid to late 1800's. The best story was the first one, about a scheming widow who marries another widower, and sets in place a series of events that cause tragedy for the family. This story also featured my favorite character, the widow's daughter Lenora; a mischievous, trouble making girl who really had a good heart underneath; she was very entertaining and funny to read about. All 3 stories also had in them a "sickly" young woman, dying with what was probably tuberculosis. I am wondering if perhaps the author lost a sister of her own that way, and that is why it is a part of so many of her stories. The 2nd story was told in the first person, and the main characters first name was the same as the authors, so I have an idea that at least parts of that story were autobiographical. As with the first book I read of this author's, Lena Rivers, this wasn't great literature, but a pretty good and interesting read; all 3 stories kept my attention throughout and had some well written characters.
French poetry, what else is there to say? If you're not swooning for it yet, you just haven't read enough of it. This one has your basics: Baudelaire, Du Bellay, Labe, Apollinaire....mmmmm
