The Brimstone Wedding by Barbara Vine, Ruth Rendell
4.0
Not the typical Barbara Vine, nevertheless an enjoyable read.
A story about dull marriages, uninterested husbands and philandering wives.
A story of2 marriages separated by at least a score of years, the connecting thread being the same house used for rendezvous by the wives with their married lovers.
The older lady is now a terminal cancer patient in an institute being taken care of by he younger lady.
the events take time to untold, as conversations between the two,as well as soliloquy by the younger lady.
there is deceit, disappearance, death and lots of quaint superstitions.
Was an enjoyable, but slightly meandering tale.
