      MARRIAGE and columns have this in common: you tend to repeat yourself. More than once in these pages, I have quoted the New Yorker’s legendary film critic Pauline Kael. After President Nixon’s landslide victory in 1972 she wrote: ‘I live in a rather

      I gave up at 60% through despite the fact that this is decently written. I couldn't take any more of Elinor - stupidly, willfully blind to any advice even after she should know better. She just irritated me intensely!
    • 4/5
      Elinor has been brought up by her widowed mother and is used to having her own way. While staying with relatives in London she falls in love with the disreputable Phil Compton, the youngest son of an earl. She thinks she can change his ways and refuses to listen to warnings from the many people who are concerned for her welfare and know more of the world than she does.I enjoyed [The Marriage of Elinor] for the well-drawn characters, including the intensely irritating Elinor, the observations of people's behaviour that brought to mind people I know know, and the the snapshot of women's lives in the 1890s. Women had few rights, and if they separated from their husbands they risked losing their children, no matter how bad the husband's behaviour.
