Poor Mammy Jane. I'll be interested to hear what you think of her actual fate. There is a lot that is melodramatic in The Marrow of Tradition and some things that are more subtle. I'm not actually 100% sure which category she falls into.
I JUST got recommended The Bell Jar by an excitable 23-year-old at the new bookstore, and it reminded me that I also gave up on it in high school and kept meaning to revisit it. Maybe next year!
