Haunted
Author(s): Edna O'Brien
Haunted: quaint, sherry-tippling English matrimonial misery. Mr. Berry is a randy old codger with itchy feet and a tendency to wax nostalgic. Mrs. Berry, a long-suffering harridan, toils thanklessly in a doll factory. Enter Hazel, a pert waif with immaculate ingenue credentials (impoverished, do-gooder, asexual). She's heard that Mrs. Berry is selling vintage clothes. Mr. Berry, beguiled, gives her a fancy sweater of his wife's - the first of many surreptitious presents. Soon, the mismatched couple is hanging out on the DL, disastrously depleting Mrs. B's wardrobe. Marriage and the shattering betrayals that can sometimes unexpectedly strengthen them are the theme of Haunted
