A Rose for Emily by William Faulkner

When I first read the title of the story "A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner I expected that the story would be about love and romance. But when I read it it turned out that my expectations had nothing to do with what the story is actually about. What I liked most about "A Rose for Emily" is the retrospective narration that the author uses to present us the story, making it more interesting and mysterious. I am not keen on Gothic stories and I would not recommend the story to a friend because even though it was interesting I did not like the dark atmosphere and the outcome of the story.
