As for Me and My House

This book has such a sombre undertone that I actually had to take a break from it for a while because it was making me so...sad (at least more than I usually am). But I think that's why I liked it so much. Sinclair Ross' writing is so immersing on it's own, and coupled with the melancholic dairy entries of Mrs. Bentley, the book makes you feel just as trapped in that little town as she did.

It definitely is a slow book so I wouldn't recommend it to people that prefer more action-packed stuff, seeing that some people found it quite boring; but I really did appreciate the complexity between their relationship and Mrs. Bentley's loneliness.

I know this is supposed to be classic Canadian literature and all, and it wasn‰ЫЄt bad, but good Christ, suicide really should‰ЫЄve been considered as an option, what with all that tension and misery.
