A review by bronwynmb
Hetty Dorval by Ethel Wilson

4.0

This was really beautifully written, but the story was a bit thin and I felt like I never really knew the characters or their motivations. It was Ethel Wilson’s first novella, and the afterword says she built upon this in other books, but it still felt thin. I really enjoyed the idea of it though, and I loved the descriptions, so I’ll rate it generously. I have a feeling I’ll think about it for a while.
