Cynical Miss Catherwaight

Cynical Miss Catherwaight

by Richard Harding Davis

Cynical Miss Catherwaight is a satirical novel that follows the story of Miss Catherwaight, a collector of "dishonored honors"—medals of honor pawned by the persons they were awarded to. Miss Catherwaight tends to look down on the former owners of these medals for giving them away, until she finds a particular token in the shape of a heart that challenges her cynical outlook and makes her question her own values.
