The Death of the Heart is perhaps Elizabeth Bowen's best-known book. As she deftly and delicately exposes the cruelty that lurks behind the polished surfaces of conventional society, Bowen reveals herself as a masterful novelist who combines a sense of humor with a devastating gift for divining human motivations. In this piercing story of innocence betrayed set in the thirties, the orphaned Portia is stranded in the sophisticated and politely treacherous world of her wealthy half-brother's home in London.There she encounters the attractive, carefree cad Eddie. To him, Portia is at once child and woman, and her fears her gushing love. To her, Eddie is the only reaason to be alive. But when Eddie follows Portia to a sea-side resort, the flash of a cigarette lighter in a darkened cinema illuminates a stunning romantic betrayal--and sets in motion one of the most moving and desperate flights of the heart in modern literature.Binding Type: Paperback

💜
my 6’4” husband wore this to our wedding. it looked amazing on him 💜 everything fit pretty good except for the jacket part; that was a little big. it may fit someone who weighs a little more but my husband weighs about 165lbs. we had to tailor it a little bit. other than that, very beautiful suit.

Mans XXL Light Baby Blue Linen Suit 6'5" 225 lbs
Mans XXL Light Baby Blue Linen Suit 6'5" 225 lbs
"This suit fit me perfectly. I was unsure of fit initially so I looked at measurements carefully and selected -true to my size- On suits that arrived a size too big I used a strategy found on Google to shrink my suit. On the wash setting, set it to hottest water setting and tumble/time setting. On the dryer set it to longest hottest heat setting and two things will happen, it will take out wrinkles and be a perfect fit!

4.5 Stars.. Comfy, but Really Check the Size Charts
I love the material of this suit. Very comfy fabric. Out of the box, it was WAY less wrinkled than I thought it would be. The pics I took are of the suit are straight out of the packaging.
When it comes to the suit itself, I really have nothing but complements. I will note a few items on the sizing:
I am 6'3", 270, and I got the 3XL. The size chart says it goes to 260lb, and I think it is right, but with a caveat... Here's why:
Pants: The pants actually fit me great. There is a comfort waistband, but I don't even really need it. I generally wear a 40" jean; 38" when they go to a loose fit.. The inseam is great as well. I am either a 32" or 34", but most 32" inseams are a bit short...
Jacket. I tend to wear a XXLT or a 52L from a suit shop. The shoulders of the jacket fit fine. It feels OK through the arms and chest, but it is probably 1/2 - 1" away from a comfortable ability to button the jacket at my "gut". Thus my comment about sizing.
I am a bit surprised that the pants fit so well through the waist but the jacket does not fit as ideally. Still - I think I am only a few pounds away from a good fit.
So I kept the 5 star review with the note as the size chart does call it out... Being so descriptive here for your benefit.
