The Gnome King reviewed Mrs Rosie and the Priest by Giovanni Boccaccio
Review of 'Mrs Rosie and the Priest' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I have decided to read all of the Penguin little black classics and because of my OCD I am starting with book 1, the only sane way to do these things.
Book 1 has 4 short stories by Giovanni Boccaccio. The first 3 are pretty quirky and I really enjoyed them. They were pretty racy for the time they were written, old school porn wooooooo
The fourth story though made me angry, so angry in fact that I deducted a star for it. A husband abuses his new wife for 12 years and the ending is so dumb I am struggling to actually write this review without putting spoilers.
All in all a good start to the series of books.
