A review by cais
In Love by Alfred Hayes

4.0

New York 1950s noir-ish tale about sad love, regrets, and the choices women had (still have?) to make in order to have a life with some kind of security. Hayes chronicles the disintegration of a relationship so masterfully, so vividly. A brief, intense, cinematic story. Really enjoyed reading this, albeit in a melancholy way.

(Back and forth between 4 and 5 stars for this one, possibly because I am comparing it to another Hayes book which is a firm 5 stars for me. I'll settle on 4.5 stars for this very, very good book.)
