La Grosse Fifi by Jean Rhys
2.0
I found these stories confusing.
The writing was lovely and I really felt a connection with the female narrators, but generally I felt a bit at a loss as to what the point of the stories were. I'm sure there were mini plots, to the mini stories, I just didn't understand them!
My lack of understanding might be something to do with the fact that some sentences are written in french, without English translation, and this went far beyone the tiny amount I can remember from my GCSE. This was quite jarring as I felt I was missing out on vital information.
I really wanted to love these little stories, but generally all I was left with were feelings of confusion.
