The Foolish Gentlewoman by Margery Sharp

3.0

Isabel, a kind but sentimental and stubborn woman, takes in her distant cousin Tilly because, years ago, she wronged her and has felt guilty ever since. Everyone in the household - her brother-in-law, nephew, companion, cook - can tell that Tilly is nothing but trouble but Isabel is adamant that she will not only take her in but turn over her fortune to her. A diverting character study with a couple twists that are unexpected but satisfying. For some reason I own a first edition of this, sans dust jacket, marked 10 cents.
