A Cup of Tea

By Amy Ephron...a love story from 1917. This fictional novel (although it is more like a novella, it is so short) is about a love triangle. Rosemary meets a cold and hungry Eleanor one evening and invites her home for tea...Rosemary is engaged to Phillip, who is friends with Jane who is also friends with Rosemary. Once Eleanor leaves Rosemary's house Jane tells Eleanor where she can find a job...and the rest is history. Phillip comes to where Eleanor works and falls in love. Out of duty he marries Rosemary...and the plot thickens. I won't say anymore...but it is tragic. Want to curl up on the couch with a tissue and just get sucked away to 1917, this is the book for you. I don't highly recommend it...but it was an okay read...and short!
