Review:
Not much to say about this one other than that it was a bit of a disappointment:
The Greening of Mrs. Donaldson, I have no doubt, was penned to shock more than it was penned to incite thoughts about the perception of quiet, middle-class, older ladies. But Bennett’s taking apart of assumptions about quiet older ladies was the much funnier than the completely implausible plot twist. The only time I got a giggle out of this story was at the very end when Mrs Donaldson turns down a proposition because she’s not finished reading the chapter in her current book, yet.
The Shielding of Mrs. Forbes, was weird but thankfully it was also instantly forgettable.

It does disappoint, doesn’t it? I think this is one of the few books that I didn’t even bother completing!

It was so disappointing. Especially, when compared to some of Bennett’s other work. Also, like you, I was tempted to just throw in the towel after the first story. I wish I had. The second was not worth it.
