Set in 1910, this book features a very rare independent and strong-willed woman, to whom I warmed immediately. That she has seen tragedy is evident upon her first introduction and that she has a back story we want to share is equally clear. I found her intriguing, relatable, and admirable, and I ached for how alone she seemed and how subject to the whims of the men who flit through the story. Laurence Meynell has painted in Miss East a character one cannot help but root for.
”When the world ends, how will it be recorded in the history books ten thousand years from now when all the stupidity and agony have started up again? Most likely in a single sentence it will say, ‘In the year nineteen hundred and whatever-is-going-to-be the world came to an end.’ Mine came to an end four years ago. On March 27th.”
In our concern for the coming of the end of the world, we seem to lose sight that for each of us the world ends individually. There is a personal “end of the world” and we each have at least one end coming to us. What might matter most is what we do with the time in between and who we love along the way.
My thanks to Claire, without whom I would certainly never have discovered this little gem. I’m glad some person in 1970 picked it off the drugstore rack and that it passed through all the hands to which the bent spine attests and made its way to me. If you get the chance, read it.
