Fidelity by Susan Glaspell
3.0
A friend said to me recently that the Persephone books are "written for women, by women" and as such, many of the books are insights into women's lives during difficult times or periods in the early 20th century. As character pieces, they're always charming and thought provoking.
A woman who runs off with a married man and has to live as an outcast from society...whilst I appreciated the sentiment, the story felt very outdated and repetitive at times. Having said that, I read it easily enough and cared enough about the characters to feel indignant on their behalf. Would have packed a punch in its time, but my least favourite P publication to date.
