Diana L. (mamadiana) reviewed on 6/25/2009 + 8 more book reviews

A story about an obsessed husband and an aloof wife. Told in a series of flashbacks by obsessed husband, who in the "present time" was around 70 years old. I wasn't thrilled with the characters, but I did enjoy the writing style. The heightened language may be off-putting to some, but it was very fitting for the time period in which it was set (early 1900s), and the occupation of the narrator (college English/Rhetoric professor).
