The Tortoise and the Hare by Elizabeth Jenkins
4.0

Absolutely brilliant. I was expecting a pleasant, quiet read, but Miss Jenkins surpassed all my expectations. She's such a keen observer of the human nature and her prose flows gorgeously. The Tortoise and the Hare, the story of a disintegrating marriage, is followed in minute details, and although you come to despise most characters one by one, Jenkins keeps you reading because you need to know the outcome and how long will Evelyn keep on being an asshole and how long will Imogen take it and Blanche, will you just stop being SO annoyingly perfect?!

Great discovery. My foray into British feminine lit of the first half of the 20th century continues.

4.5*
