Lady Windermere's Fan by Oscar Wilde
4.0
3.5 stars
A very quick read after a string of longer books for me! I'm a big fan of Oscar Wilde, and one of my favorite quotes from him is in this play, but I had never read it. It's a play so an even quicker read than books. A delightful comedy of errors, but with a heartfelt ending. It has Wilde's typical witty but very poignant quotes. Maybe not my favorite from him, but certainly an enjoyable read.
Edited to add: Lady Windemere's mother and her own story of being a social pariah for following her heart and living her life certainly forbodes Wilde's own sexuality being put on display ending in his wrongful imprisonment.
