## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Simply amazing!
  

*by E***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 February 2021*

First time I read Dorothy Parker. Three very simple stories that once I started I had to finish. Not happy endings! Or maybe I should say that there are no endings at all!

    On the edge
  

*by M***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 July 2018*

This is a volume from the Penguin Modern series. These are true pocked-size books. It contains three short stories spread over 50 pages. The stories are taken from 

  
The Collected Dorothy Parker









  
  
    
  . These are not happy stories, neither are they depressing, but they do describe a time when women had fewer options.The first story, “Custard Heart”, is 12 pages long. It is about Mrs Lanier, who is wistful. She can afford to be wistful, unlike her servants, whom she notices only in relation to herself, or the poor people of The Depression whom she sees on the streets when she is driven by her chauffer to her dressmaker.“Big Blonde” is 33 pages. It is about Hazel Morse, the men in her life, the role she has to play for these men and the gradually increasing assistance of alcohol to support her role.“You were Perfectly Fine” is 5 pages long. It is a description of the day after the night before, what was promised by a young man when drunk and what his girlfriend will hold him to.
