A very dense character study examining 3 circumstances in which 3 women lose their sense of self. Smart, empathetic, and sensitive.
Things to note before deciding to read:
- these crisis’ all revolve around men, specifically these character’s husbands.
- the three characters are all wealthy, white, Parisian woman and have more in common than they have in difference.
- racially insensitive if not racist terms for Black people are used I believed just once
- it drones on. A slow descent into madness.
