The son of a sealing captain in Newfoundland, Landish is more interested in the written word and wordplay, finding a friendship at Princeton with an extremely wealthy American. The book focuses on Landish‘s arc, as he moves forward while being mistreated by almost everyone around him. A melancholy story, but certainly well written.

Writing style was patchy with weird 4th wall breaks and sentences starting with 'too' (meaning 'also') which I found jarring. Subject matter could've been more interesting had writer focused on Alva's philanthropic endeavours/work for women's rights rather than the mundane marrying well & climbing society - book ends when it get to that part of her life! Think I'd have preferred a straight biography - the events here are pretty boring.

An ornament with an animal on it for the #ornamenthunt! This is one of my favorites on the tree. We got this the year we visited the Biltmore estate jn Asheville, NC. It was a wonderful day of Segway tours, wine, and excellent food. #wintergames2021 #mistletoemaniacs
