AND SO THEY WERE MARRIED.....145 PAGES IN PRINT! SHORT BUT A REALLY GOOD NOVEL! A story where you can see that the protagonist is making stupid mistakes and you know exactly what’s going to happen — and that it’s going to be bad —
Florence Morse Kingsley’s..."And So They Were Married"..is the story of a young woman who, after her engagement, falls under the influence of a social-climbing friend and begins to live beyond her means. My great-grandmother used to say that cheap is dear and dear is cheap, i.e. don’t practice false economy; buy good stuff and it will last. Elizabeth North’s friend Evelyn Tripp, though, seems to have internalized the “dear is cheap” part without actually understanding what it means. She insists — and somehow convinces Elizabeth — that she “can’t afford” not to live a fashionable and expensive lifestyle. Elizabeth succumbs to this non-logic, but her husband has a good head on his shoulders, and her grandmother is awesome, and with a little help from them the basically sensible Elizabeth eventually pulls herself out of her debt spiral.
