“Madeline’s illness…puzzled her physicians. She had lost interest in everything; she was wasting away to a shadow…” it’s called ✨depression✨

In the summary of this book, it will mention Savannah, Georgia. It will mention many eclectic people doing eclectic things. It will mention a true-crime murder. Ladies, Gentlemen and Good People, that murder does not happen until page 168, almost half way through the book. You have been warned.

CXVI: “I measure every grief I meet
With analytic eyes;
I wonder if it weighs like mine,
Or has an easier size.

I wonder if they bore it long,
Or did it just begin?
I could not tell the date of mine,
It feels so old a pain.

I wonder if it hurts to live,
And if they have to try,
And whether, could they choose between,
They would not rather die.
…
Still fascinated to presume
That some are like my own.”
