The Door, by Magda Szabó

5.0

To be reviewed after book club meeting.

(I always say that and never come back to it, but maybe this time.)

I CAME BACK.

Amazing. The characters are so fully formed, it's hard for me to accept this is not fully autobiographical. Emerence is such a badass lady.

Spoiler

First I thought, damn Magdushka, ya fucked up.
But thennn, if Emerence had just asked for her help earlier, she'd have kept her dignity and her cats and probably recovered just as well.
