Laurie S.’s Reviews > A Woman of Independent Means > Status Update

This excellent novel, made up of a lifetime's correspondence from a woman to her family and friends. It is a page-turner. Bess runs a fine thread of control through the lives of her loved ones, and then is truly surprised and hurt when they rebel. I was always interested in Bess, sometimes exasperated by her, but never bored with her. I loved every moment. 🥰
