Whew! What a ride. What a terrible ride into the lives of three sad, miserable lives. Blanche comes to stay with her sister, Stella, after Blanche's life deteriorates. Stella has married and is expecting a baby, but her life is anything but cozy and warm. Stella's husband, Stanley, beats his wife and drinks heavily. Everything in this story echoes, No Way Out, and You are Doomed to Misery.
This was a light and fast read and im sure there's some moral to this story but it's confusing as hell. Over all enjoyable though.
Strong, and raw. A book everyone should read at some point. Stellaaaaa!
One word only: disturbing 😳
But a little bit more..., I don't know what to make out of it. The story really caught me and made me angry and sad and depressed and made me feel impotent.
