Title: Shirley Jackson gets it about ... grrrls
Review: As an English major (aaggghh) who rates Middlemarch perhaps the greatest novel in English (so far), and as a bad girl, this is one of my top five favorites of all time. What is the quality that is unique that I am not seeing in other reviews? Is it the deliciously claustrophic, even Free-Masonic nature of the relationship between Merricat and her beloved, Olivia-De-Haviland-esque sister, Constance? The dark, sweet underside of human nature is comfortably exposed here. Closet types (of any kind) ar definitely invited. Merricat is every toddler you ever loved, grown up to be exactly what you feared. Better than chocolate.
Is the review positive or negative?
