"A strong dark face, and untidy dark curls hanging about her shoulders. Her mouth👄 was too full (…)"
Clearly from an older novel.😉
Nowadays, lips cannot be too full, it seems to me.

Read: A Different Sound. Stories by Mid-Century Women Writers (ed. Lucy Scholes, 2023).
I was waiting for the paperback, and this collection was as good as I hoped. Eleven very different short stories, by both well-known and more obscure writers, ranging from good to excellent. Big recommendation.
