A Love Pentagon?

Small-town limitations, gossip and envy contribute handily in this doomed tale of star-crossed lovers. Or perhaps they're just thwarted by their own idiocy. If you need a gloomy, doomy romance, this just may be the ticket. Spoiler alert: Don't plan for them all to get together tidily at the end. I will say this, however, old as this book may be (almost 150 years!) it still reads fairly easily. Gotta give our boy Tommy some credit for that.
