The Closed Door and Other Stories by Dorothy Whipple

4.0

I enjoyed all these stories but -- the one story that really moved me was "Wednesdays." This really resonated with me from personal experience. The jilted wife visiting her children (husbands always got custody in England before WW2.) Her sense of unreality and deep loss was just -- unspeakably powerful to me. Coincidentally, I have also written a poem called Wednesdays. This just rang so many bells for me. Excellent.
