THE SUNDIAL By Shirley Jackson Shirley Jackson is one of my favorite authors, but “The Sundial” is one of her lesser-known works. It shouldn’t be.

Shirley Jackson It was young Mrs. Hart’s first summer of living in the country, and her first year of being married and the mistress of a house; she was going to have her first baby soon, and it was the first time she had ever had anyone, or thought of having anyone, who could remotely be described as a maid.

An unrelated trivia round inspired me in May; two answers were Anne of Green Gables and The Golden Compass. The steez of these reads is that everything and nothing happens, save for the authors, where it’s a choose-your-own-adventure of high-brow literature.
