The Girls of Slender Means by Muriel Spark

3.0

maybe this suffered from having read [b:An Experiment in Love|101926|An Experiment in Love|Hilary Mantel|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1312023506l/101926._SY75_.jpg|98267] immediately prior, but i never felt i had a proper grasp on the book. it's not that it was too complex; it's that it was too slight. i think i get what spark's intention was here - that knowing a person is impossible - but it didn't land for me.
