      Two Sisters

      Dec 15, 2018

      Two sisters lived together in a two-room apartment. They were very poor. For lunch, they usually had a boiled potato; for breakfast, a slice of bread with a glass of hot water. They were very thin but very neat, and kept their home spotless. Every da

    • 3/5
      These stories from the 1910s are amusing for the most part although they do display some of the racist attitudes of the times (regarding all people of color) which I found particularly bothersome in the second story "Like a Wolf in the Fold".

      The 3 main characters - Tish Carberry, Aggie Pilkington, and the narrator Lizzie (I don't recall her last name) - are women "of a certain age" who, while being members of good standing in their church, still manage to defy convention and get into all sorts of adventures. In one of the best stories in the collection, "The Simple Life", the 3 live off the land in the Maine woods! Surprisingly (or not, if you are familiar with Tish) that is the easy part - they manage to get mixed up with bootleggers and assist in a romance as well.
