4.0 out of 5 stars
tales of the unexpected,
By sally tarbox (aylesbury bucks uk) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Grim Smile of the Five Towns (20th Century Classics) (Mass Market Paperback)
Immensely readable short stories with a twist. I loved the 4 linked stories of the acquisitive Vera, always overspending her allowance and trying to find a solution. Also the tale of poor Horace who feels himself to blame for his stepbrother's alleged illness so that he is forever overcompensating and being taken advantage of. Not forgetting the 'burglary' story, where local dignitary Sir Jehoshaphat, having been awarded an immensely unflattering portrait of himself arranges to have it stolen...Very enjoyable
