A Cup of Tea: A Novel of 1917 by Amy Ephron

4.0

So interesting to read a book that is contemporary American fiction, but could easily pass for Modern British lit. I loved the short, jostling chapters, and the allusions to other pieces of literature. It made me aware of the strong influence of literature like Tess of the D'urbervilles" and " A Dolls House", and "An American Tragedy". Somehow this wasn't derivative, just part of a genre that I know well.
