Life and Death of Harriet Frean by May Sinclair
3.0
A very strange book, but one with quite an important message to be had.
'Life and Death of Harriet Frean' follows our lead from the day she is born until the day she dies. It chronicles her hopes, desires, adoration of her parents and horror at being the love object of her best friend's husband. Each chapter is a few years ahead, and it's rather poignant to watch Harriet's slow decline as she loses first one, then both of her beloved parents and has to contend with living alone.
