Review of 'Difficulties of a bridegroom' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

Six out of nine stories were familiar to me as they are reprinted from Wodwo. The remaining three were the best ones!

I don't get on very well with symbolism in literature but it was Hughes' favourite thing, so these stories were mostly very hard to decipher and I don't think I really succeeded. The ones I liked most are the ones that were least reliant on such decoding.

Probably for Hughes fanatics only.
