The Death of the Heart (Penguin Classics)

This is a coming of age story and my first Elizabeth Bowen novel. The story is a bit uncomfortable, with a 23 year old man pursuing a 16 year old girl, but the writing is exquisite, with lots of detail, and a bit Austenesque. The ending is purposely not resolved, and it works, but left me a bit unsatisfied

I read it as an audiobook and the reader is excellent.

Good writing, but end puzzled me some. Satire delicious, cads, bounders, and "crazy women" abound.

( I thought I was doing things properly here but then again I thought those would lead to interaction. At least not yet.)
