The point of view Annotated ABW Elinor Glyn Book 7 eBook Elinor Glyn
Honestly, I thought this book was going to be a total bore. However, I was delightfully mistaken. What's the old adage? Don't judge a book by its cover. Well, that's one of the themes of The Point of View.Written by Elinor Glyn and published in 1913, The Point of View is entertaining even though the lovemaking in the book is considered mild by today's standards. Actually, I'm pretty sure that making love back in the early 1900's meant to court or woo someone. So, yeah, there's no sex in these pages, folks.
The story opens in the Grand Hotel in Rome with a young woman named Stella. While Stella's at dinner with her aunt and uncle and they're discussing matters that, well, aren't particularly interesting, a peculiar man named Sasha Roumovski enters the room. Suddenly, everyone's eyes are on him and it's not because Sasha is attractive. It's quite the opposite.
The story's premise is that Stella's hedged in by her domineering aunt, uncle, their maid, and her soon to be fiance, a priest by the name of Rev. Eustace Medlicott. Stella can't stand her betrothed and during her stay at the hotel, she's entranced by Sasha Roumovski, a man unlike anyone she's ever seen before.
Her relatives call him ugly and distasteful. But Stella sees differently. Through her various meetings with Sasha, she changes her point of view about life and love.
Stella is so naive and innocent that I couldn't help but laugh. Her rebellious streak is one reason I enjoyed this book. Stella eventually takes control of her life and refuses to be shoved around by others any longer. With the help of Sasha, she unleashes a side of herself that she never knew existed.
There are a few down sides to the book, however. The reoccurring use of exclamations points throughout the book got on my nerves! Also, Gyln had a few instances of narrator intrusion at the start of the story that she seemed to avoid through the rest of the book, thankfully. Numerous adverbs on the dialogue tags bugged me constantly as well, but that's just my personal preference.
In the end, I laughed and loved the last line of dialogue in the book. This story is too adorable. I wouldn't let its imperfections scare you away. If you want a great message and the possibility of taking a closer look at your own life, you'll probably enjoy the Point of View.

The point of view Annotated ABW Elinor Glyn Book 7 eBook Elinor Glyn Reviews
Interesting short story of a girl who is having grave doubts about her fiance and her hasty commitent to an engagement sanctioned by her aunt and uncle. While on a trip to France and Italy she falls in love with a Russian count who her guardians frown upon as not respectable. In the space of a few weeks her life is completely reversed. Another enjoyable read from Elinor Glyn
This is a book that discusses how your surroundings influence your relationships. I wouldn't say this is Glyn's best work or worst work. It had some good lines in it though and a nice ending.
