A dream come true for Mabel, who covets everything the Winslow family represents.īut as the old adage correctly advises…. The girls are not really friends, but circumstance leads Mabel to be invited to share Genevra’s summer at “Bittersweet”, a cottage on her wealthy family’s compound of vast acreage in rural Vermont, on the shores of Lake Champlain. As fate (or design?) would have it Mabel and Genevra are assigned to be roommates at their prestigious East Coast college. Ordinary Mabel Dagmar, a scholarship student with a blue-collar background, and blue-blooded Genevra Winslow, the beautiful, blonde daughter of one of America’s richest families. “Bittersweet” is essentially the story of two college students. When on the rare occasion that we actually get what we have coveted, we find that the result is bittersweet. We tend to think that others’ lives are happier, more fulfilling, more successful, etc., etc.
Our human nature always leads us to assume that the ‘grass is always greener’.
