    A tragic story with a happy ending
  

*by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2024*

The main character in this book struggled so much with a husband who didn't want to find a job and didn't like having children. It was mostly a sad story, but there was always hope, and the main character never gave up on finding happiness.

    Barabara Comyns real life is an interesting as her novels
  

*by M***Y on Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2015*

While its no where even near the brilliance of Sisters By A River. Her first book. Its still an excellent little book. What interested me about this book is how bohemians never change. Even in 1930 they are living a precarious life. No money, no food but plenty of well...interesting friends. What also fascinated me was how accepted it was in the the 30's that men's life goals and needs were more important than women's. Kind of infuriating. And being responsible is optional. The shocking attitude to children is just as harrowing in this book. Its supposed to be fiction but I have no doubt Barbara Comyns plundered her first hand experience to write this tawdry descent into poverty. There could be no other way. And anyway, she had succeeded so will with just describing events and circumstances in Sister By A River. So a semi auto biographical take on love, marriage and children is just an extension. A quick look at the real circumstances of her life support my view that she writes pretty much how her life unfolded.

    An English Woman's Experience of Poverty
  

*by L***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2016*

This novel tells the partly autobiographical story of the author's first marriage. She freely admits she was a silly young woman with more passion than sense when she married but that is perhaps the charm of her writing. Throughout it all she maintains a romantic view of life and the world despite the grim reality of having the gas cut off or barely being able to feed yourself and your child.The only better portrayal of poverty in literature that I can think of is the work of George Orwell but Orwell never had this romance and passion for life,  this charming effervescence in the face of grim reality.The writing style reminds me of W. Somerset Maugham or perhaps Graham Greene. Plain English, well written without excessive flair. It is very easy to read and the pages just fly by.I had never heard of this author until now but after reading this I would  happily read anything else she has written.
