This prompt gave me an opportunity to read one of the Persephone titles gifted to me through my subscription last year. Hetty is a slim novella that is told from the perspective of now-adult Frankie, who met Hetty when she (Frankie) was only 12. Hetty flows in and out of Frankie‘s life, and it‘s not until much later that Frankie sees the impact Hetty will have on her life.

I came home from work to find my second #Persephone subscription selection. I'm super excited, and this one is very slim so I'll be able to read it in one or two sittings.

Nat_Reads What is this?! Please share! It's so pretty. What is a Persephone book subscription? 6y
vicgreentoriafield I'm curious too. I've seen posts about Persephone books and I've even looked it up but I'm not sure I understood 6y
emilyhaldi Love it!! 💗 6y
Reviewsbylola Persephone is a book shop in London that publishes older, lesser known books that have gone out of print. Almost exclusively female authors. They're known for their classic, sleek gray covers and beautiful endpapers that are carefully chosen. They offer book subscriptions as well, and I was gifted one for my birthday! @vicgreentoriafield @Nat_Reads For the subscription, I think they offer 3,6, and 12 months. 6y
