Under The Fainting Couch on Bread and Roses

This is lovely! I was also a voracious reader and had no one to impress and I love how you bring us into the wondrous world of this smart, gifted, artistic soul of a girl. One of my favorite memories is lying on the floor listening to a record of Greek myths or escaping to read Crime and Punishment, not realizing how much that the title spoke to my family’s circumstances. Oh, those hidden away moments, eh? What are your current reading delights? I really love your Substack!
