The Paying Guest by George Gissing
4.0
George Gissing is one of my all time favorite authors. I think it's unfortunate that he's relatively obscure today.
I got this novella when I read that it was a more comedic work of Gissing. It details a series of mishaps when an upper middle class couple take a lower class girl into their home as the titular "paying guest."
While fairly short, it was quite humorous and I enjoyed it. It's a comedy of errors about the differences in class.
