Pretty Good! 🙂
All of the stories are good, but some are even better.
The title story, “Don’t Look Now�, is a story of the supernatural. A father discovers during a trip to Venice that he has precognition. Not that he believes in it. Too bad for him.
In “The Way of the Cross�, a pilgrimage to Jerusalem is turned into a pilgrimage of misery for all participants, except a little boy...
With a newlywed wife succumbing to adultery, a member of the peer, unable to turn off her snobbery... and loses her “looks�, her husband, a retired member of the military is incapable of forgetting his military life.
A nouveau rich couple is falling to pieces: The husband is having an affair with the young newlywed and his wife sees every activity as a charitable event. The parson doesn’t wish to be there, and has a humiliating incident with his pants. The old lady falls in a well and passes out.
There is no way that this story could not become my favorite.
Four stars. ✨✨✨✨

Don’t Look Now was made into a really really good movie in the early 70s.

Yes. I saw the movie when I was about six or seven. Don’t remember much about it, but I do remember that I didn’t understand what was going on. 🤷🏽♀️�
