The Death of the Heart

Summary: Bored to the Heart
Review: Truly dull tale of an teenage girl who comes to live with a married older half brother and his wife. The wife is a gad about with lots of men friends who reads Portia's diary. The brother is a bore who can barely communicate with his sister and who doesn't like his wife's friends and is too timid to say anything.

The only person in the household who treats Portia as if she has the slightest bit of interest is Matchett the long time family servant. All the same the male vistors to the house are all captivated by Portia especially Eddie a friend of Anna's with a severe chip on his shoulder. Portia finally has enough of the betrayal's and revolts and runs away.

The reader hopes that Portia will never return.
