Hope you enjoy it - it's dark, and gripping, and some of the fairytale re-tellings are incredible. By the way, if you like fairytale retellings, I'd recommend Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber and other stories. I was hooked from the beginning, despite not being a massive fan of short stories. <br /><br />Got Age of Innocence on the shelf, and hopefully, I'll get down to it eventually. :)anothercookiecrumbleshttp://www.anothercookiecrumbles.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323593442539882992.post-2093229369393898342010-08-27T21:44:18.186-05:002010-08-27T21:44:18.186-05:00Brenna--don't hold your breath, but I certainl...Brenna--don't hold your breath, but I certainly plan to get to it eventually! I still feel a little iffy about it but I'll be happy to be your guinea pig. ;)<br /><br />She--Oh, there are communist gnomes? I didn't know that! I'll have to bump it up. :)<br /><br />Allie--what is your favorite Wharton book? And, is <i>Mme de Treymes</i> the one you're saving? I can't believe I haven't read it, it's so short (147 pgs) and the words aren't squeezed in very tight on the pages, either. May be a nice antidote to <i>Anna Karenina</i>, which is the exact opposite. (So many pages, microscopic typeface).Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15867744753830511111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323593442539882992.post-86021043635933779062010-08-27T21:27:04.389-05:002010-08-27T21:27:04.389-05:00Oh, you need to read Wharton!!
