A Cup of Tea


A Cup of Tea by Amy Ephron is a historical book that takes you to 1917 New York City.  Rosemary and Philip are engaged to be married, a young couple born to privilege.  Rosemary, feeling charitable, invites Eleanor, a destitute woman, into her home, to get warm by the fire and to have a cup of tea.  When she spots Philip looking at Eleanor she sends the girl away -- but it's too late.  This is a dark romance with a growing sense of foreboding and a surprise conclusion.  SG
