Three free-spirited governesses have caught a household up in their collective spell in Anne Serre's The Governesses.
Serre's first novel translated into English really can't be that easily summarized; it is slender, episodic and dreamlike, erotically charged and full of unusual vignettes.
I wasn't sure what to make of some of it--including a wrap-up involving an elderly neighbor watching them through a telescope--but was interested throughout and caught up in the imagery.
I am curious about what else Anne Serre has written, and I hope more gets translated into English.
I checked this out from the Morrisson-Reeves Public Library in Richmond, Indiana.
