Madame Claire | Susan Ertz

1 post | 1 read | 6 to read

1923. Susan Ertz, American short story writer and novelist begins Madame Claire: If you wish to be relieved form the worries of housekeeping; if you wish to cultivate the society of retired army folk, or that of blameless spinsterhood, ask for a room (inclusive terms) at the Kensington Park Hotel, Kensington. It is unprogressive, it is Early Victorian-though of late that term has lost some of its reproach-but it is eminently safe and respectable.

Madame Claire | Susan Ertz

pick

Before there was Chick Lit, there was Domestic Fiction. In this nice 1923 novel by neglected author Susan Ertz, widowed Lady Gregory - "or Madame Claire, as her grandchildren called her" - keeps a light hand on the reins of her children's lives. And how about the patina on this classic cover?! #tbt #ThrowbackThursday
