The Life and Death of Harriett Frean by May Sinclair

3.0

This was really really strange and a bit depressing, especially because I read it at 11 pm, waiting for my turn in an emergency room. Sinclair took my hand and carried me along the life of Harriet, a woman who could not be any more different from me if she tried. I don't think I took much from the story with me and I didn't learn anything either, but I still caught a glimpse of a very different life in a different time and spent just three instead of five hours staring at the wall and hoping to be next.
