Singlehandedly the most boring book I have ever read, it could be half its size and still would be too long.

So depressing and I despised all the characters, but could somewhat empathize.  Oof. Obviously dated, with sexist themes.

My other favourite piece of fiction. An introspective look into marriage, societal ideals and the position of women in the 1950s. Depicts the frustrations of suburban life in a gritty and honest way- these characters are easily empathised with, even if their actions could be questioned from a moral perspective. Read if you enjoy something that is turbulent, yet set against the mundane nature of married life.
