This is fun - I picked up a popular reprint (13th edition) for £1 when I was in the UK. E.F.Benson is the creator of the Mapp and Lucia series, but this is the book that made his name, and I'd never even seen a copy - just heard about it. It's very much "of its time" - a comedy of manners set in the late Victorian era. There are touches of Saki, and even at times of Oscar Wilde at his more serious, and there are flashes of wit, but on the whole, it's a very competently put together story and well-written of its type. Good characters, even if a little clichéd at times, and a lovely sting in the tail (last sentence) which you definitely should *not* read before finishing the book.

The narrative follows the stylishly controversial Dodo, a young woman from the British upper-middle-class. She is very confident she is about to make a most advantageous match which should position her perfectly for the social status and money she so deeply craves. This makes for a work replete with sardonic and romantic and paranormal melodrama. In an atmosphere so full of extreme snobbery that it is a riot of hilarity. Brought to you by one of the most distinguished practitioners of the supernatural short story, this is a must read for fans of the American horror drama series 'Lovecraft Country'. Starring Jurnee Smollet, Jonathan Majors, Michael. K. Williams and Wunmi Mosaku. - Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
