The Rose Garden
Short Stories (Scarcrow)
by Maeve Brennan
- 2 Want to read
"At the heart of The Rose Garden is a series of linked stories with the cumulative power of a novel - a study of life in Herbert's Retreat, an enclave of rich, smug, vaguely artistic social-climbers situated some thirty miles above Manhattan. The self-satisfaction of these privileged suburbanites is matched only by their malice and their envy of one another's river view, kitchen fireplace, and live-in Irish help.
Here Brennan is the master of a savage kind of farce, one part John Cheever, one part Moliere, one part Dublin music-hall hilarity."--BOOK JACKET.
