Reviews

[Ben · Rating 4 out of 5]

As advertised, unusual and lightly humorous. Most of the story takes place all in one night as our protagonist comes to regret her desire for a little more excitement in her rather dull existence. Not particularly thrilling - there's much interiority to go along with the dialogue - but an interesting, well-written and kind of underappreciated tale from 1941.

More of a thriller than the other books I have read by Offord.
