Stories About Loneliness in Small Towns: Nikolai Gogol, Mary Shelley, Alexander Pushkin, Sherwood Anderson & Mary E. Wilkins Freeman
Many of us enjoy solitude. Maybe a few minutes, or an hour, maybe a few days to decompress and unwind. But for some people, and there are many persuasive reasons as to why, solitude has a big brother; Loneliness. There is no-one to share with, to split the burden or triumphs of life.
In small towns, where it seems everyone knows everyone, loneliness is especially hard to come to terms with.
