TheAromaofBooks
Greenery Street | Denis George Mackail

Pickpick

I picked up this charming book because somewhere along the line I read that P.G. Wodehouse loved it. This is a gentle story about a newly married couple and their first year of marriage. If, like myself, you are worried that things won't go well for them - fear not! They're absolutely adorable together and continue to be so all the way through. While Mackail pokes a little fun at their naivety, on the whole, all the adjectives I came up for this⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) are pretty much synonyms for “gentle“ - soothing, quiet, mild, mellow, soft, peaceful, etc. I didn't absolutely LOVE this book - it was somehow missing some piece of magic for me - but I did enjoy it and it's an excellent little slice-of-life story.

Plus, it checks off 1925 for #1902025 !! @Librarybelle

TheAromaofBooks @Librarybelle - I think you'll enjoy it. There are obviously some old-fashioned views re: gender roles and classism, but on the whole it's pretty cute. 4mo
