For the Love of Willie by Agnes Owens

5.0

Such a short but powerful novella, only about 120 pages! I couldn’t put it down and read it in an afternoon, I read on the blurb that it was a tragi-comedy and I can’t say I agree, personally i found it so sad!! Peggy and the other women are so isolated by their status and gender, they’re consistently mistreated by the adults in their lives. Their stories are representative of so many young girls not dissimilar to my age living now and in the 20th century!! May have shed a tear or two at the end. Wow. But is it also a story that shows a cat can solve anything? Who knows
