Tory Heaven or Thunder on the Right by Marghanita Laski
4.0
Why is that I put of Persephone books for years? I always end up really enjoying them. And this one was no different of course.
What a fantastic satire on the political landscape of post-WW2 Britain (and dare I say still as relevant in the year 2020 as it was during the 1940s?). Sharp, funny, fantastical, and full of loathsome characters - particularly the protagonist James. He is one you love to hate - haughty, privileged, and also very very stupid. This was such a good laugh, I knew Marghanita Laski wouldn't disappoint. I will need to continue working my way through her bibliography.
