Hermione's Group of ThinkersHermione's Group of Thinkers

Hermione’s Group of Thinkers is a pleasingly gentle satire on the intellectual pretensions of a “High Society” American young woman, and her attempts to find a purpose in her life.  In spite of having been written sometime during the First World War, these short tales (written in the first person by Hermione) remain remarkably sharp commentaries about how the world is put together, and the gap between rich and poor, and the mutual incomprehension on the part of the two groups.

Enchanting and thought provoking writing.

Instead of a bunch of spoiled “screenagers” with short attention spans and zero social skills, he discovered a remarkably bright community which has developed revolutionary new ways of thinking, interacting, working, and socializing.
