At almost forty, and maybe a little frumpy, she makes me feel as though maybe there's hope for me yet. Actually I quite admire Helen and think she's a woman of much wisdom, a lot of practicality and just enough desire for romance in her life (but not exactly actively pursuing it, if you know what I mean) to make her story rather enviable. Then again, in his way he does save the day, so I guess he redeems himself in the end. If I had a brother like her, though, I think I would have 'run away' a little sooner. Definitely one of those why did I wait so long to read books! I absolutely adore Helen McGill and she elicited more than one chuckle and the odd guffaw out of me. Parnassus on Wheels by Christopher Morley is just as charming and delightful as I was expecting it to be. Alternative History/Dystopian Fiction (7).
