An elegant, measured, often hilarious… rant? Outcry? Bemoaning? Lamentation?
Any or all might do!
In Edith, Syran has captured the bitter inner snob in all of us. When I say “all of us,” I mean “me,” but that level of honesty DOES NOT BRING ME JOY, so I’m including all of you.
Vividly real, a prisoner of her own indulgences and jealousies, and just as big a pain in the ass to be married to as her husband.
I’m glad I’m not at the dinner party with her but I enjoyed the minutes I’ve spent! ”
