pickThe Game is not chess, even though it‘s on the cover and in my pic. And it‘s not even really the focus of the book. It‘s sisters and mental health and struggling to know your identity. Published in 1967, it has that era‘s focus on characters who feel trapped. The prose is, like that in Possession, florid and full of “five dollar words,” but it packs a punch. 👇🏻
Lcsmcat I‘ve not read anything by Margaret Drabble but this is supposedly autobiographical as far as the sibling rivalry part goes. (Obviously not the ending, and hopefully not the piranha.) #doublespin 11h
