pickMrs. Manstey's view is a short story about a lonely widow who resides in a room at the 3rd floor of a New York boarding house, & whose sole companion is the view of "the hyacinths, the magnolia, the green parrot, the maid who fed the cats, the doctor who studied late behind his mustard-colored curtains, & the church spire floating in the sunset" from her window.
It's a poignant read, brimming with beautiful imagery on nature, & human emotions. ?
