Rhododendron Pie by Margery Sharp

4.0

Not my favorite Margery Sharp but of course I enjoyed it. It's about a family who believes life is a performative act rather than a journey toward personal satisfaction. The younger daughter, Ann, realizes on a trip to London that she embraces the ordinary and wants to make her own choices. This is a bit heavy-handed on some of the messaging and it is a thoughtful statement on society in this time period. I always enjoy a Margery Sharp book. I love Goodreads because it's so heartening to know that 73 others are reading this little-known early twentieth-century novel.
