sara_m_martins 's review for:

The Reckoning by Edith Wharton
2.0

I dont believe it to be a bad book (2 short stories). But it was just okay, hence 2 stars.
The first one (Mrs Manstleys view) is nice in an heartbreaking way. The reckoning is also an interesting story and a nice contrast in perspective but i just,, didnt care. I dont know how else to put it.
The writing style is also a bit weird, with long paragraphs for pages, ending in short pieces of dialogue. The big paragraphs made me reread in a way i hadn't need to since my highschool days analysing text
