A Streetcar Named Desire | Tennessee Williams
post image
Mehso-so

After a scandal and loss of fortune, Blanche seeks refuge with her sister Stella. However, Stella's husband, Stanley, and Blanche take an immediate dislike to each other. Disturbingly subtle at times and painfully open at others, this play teeter totters on a balance that crumbles by the finale. What happens to a woman disgraced when she has no one left?

Persuasion | Jane Austen
post image
Pickpick

My absolute favorite Austen novel. Anne Elliot is mature, relatable, kind, intelligent, and humble. And of all the Austen couples, she and Wentworth are the most well balanced. They both show radical character development, even more so than the beloved Lizzy and Darcy. A great read for anyone looking for a romance with depth, wits, and heart.

IWriteInTheNight After abandoning Emma, I didn't want to pick up another Jane Austen. However, reading your synopsis of it is making me want to give this one a go. 7y

The Great Divorce | C. S. Lewis

Pickpick

This was not my favorite CS Lewis work but I still enjoyed it. The work was very didactic and metaphorical, which may be a turn off for some.
Like his other writings, The Great Divorce illustrated his ability to convey deep and profound truths in simple language. But the ending was a let down for me, and I found his depictions of women flat and stereotypical.
