4 // Thoroughly entertaining and witty. Loved the saucy wives and the fleabag-esque priest!

This is part of my challenge of reading all 80 penguin little black books. This was book 1/80.

hysterically funny and delightfully raunchy. but you know. obviously quite a bit misogynistic. definitely worth a read like omg i did not expect to enjoy that so much haha

I enjoyed this, yet not to the fullest. It did spark some interest for future reading. Some cruel stories, yet the gruesomeness made an interesting read.
