Book Review: "Their Silver Wedding Journey" by William Dean Howells (1899)

Once again, Howells brings us the story of the March's.  The travel to Europe to celebrate their silver wedding anniversary.

I don't think this is one of his best books.  There is too much description of the traveling and not enough story.  Where there is story, the story is entertaining.  It is not about the March's, but about the people they befriended on the voyage over--through their eyes.  I loved the dialogue between them, as they discussed their friend's romances.

My advice, skip the travel descriptions and read the rest.
