In Love by Alfred Hayes

1.0

YUCK!!! So much misogyny in one little book! The writing is perfect, I agree, but how could people have given this book 5 stars and raved this way about it? It would've been better had this book remained forgotten and would not have been rediscovered. Who wants to remember how terrible women were treated in those times? How it was acceptable to hit them, treat them like whores and even rape them? How it was the right thing to do to abandon a woman on her wedding night because she was found out not be a virgin, or after giving birth to your child? I know I don't, and that reading this book made me feel sick and very upset. Some books are forgotten for a reason, and this is one of them.
