Reviews

[Arthur Pierce]

The first Alice Duerr Miller novel I have read, but it certainly won't be the last. I have seen two movie versions of this story, so I pretty much knew what was coming, but Miss Miller is an engaging story-teller and I found MANSLAUGHTER to be an especially entertaining example of popular '20s literature.

This story was adapted to the screen as a silent film in 1922 starring Leatrice Joy and an early sound movie in 1930 starring Claudette Colbert.

[Briana]

Alice Duer Mitchell brings her characteristic dry wit, but this is the least well put-together of her stories (that I've read). Still, a good read for anyone who enjoys early 20th Century social satire in the Edith Wharton vein.
