Book Reviews of A Cup of Tea : A Novel of 1917

A gem of a book, that hooked me from the first page. The writing style is spare, but even so, the narrative is engaging, with finely drawn characters. A tale of well-to-do Rosemary, who on the spur of the moment, takes a homeless woman home with her for tea, and the chain of events that will ultimately lead to tragedy. I liked in particular how a seemingly innocuous purchase Rosemary makes in the very first scene turned out to be so important later. Highly recommended.
