The Death of The Heart by Elizabeth Bowen
The Death of the Heart takes place in England, circa 1930’s. It’s the story of Portia Quayne, a typical sixteen year old coming of age. And amidst the uncertainty and discomfort of growing up to be a respectable young woman, she has the added burden of suddenly becoming an orphan- sent to live with an estranged step-brother and his snobby, bourgeois wife. ★★★
