Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. A series of conversations almost exclusively within the house of Menelaus of Sparta between Helen, Menelaus, Hermione their daughter, Eteoneus the doorkeeper and Adraste, Helen's companion, punctuated with reports of murder. Helen is as beautiful as ever, and a more original moralist than Eliza Doolittle's father. While not the whimsical delight of The Brief Hour of François Villon, this only drags a bit do to repetition, unless you absolutely require action. ( ) Well, it wasn't the salacious version that the title would seem to promise. It's got a certain homage to pay to Noel Coward and Oscar Wilde. Menelaus did forgive her and take her back home again after all that sailing and killing. So how does one live with her after that? Erskine's urbanity is a treasure. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
