Square Haunting: Five Writers in London Between the Wars by Francesca Wade

challenging emotional informative inspiring medium-paced

4.5

honestly a lovely work of history ! did u know i have a history degree so i can comment on this- a great exercise in using geography as a historical lens and a really insightful comparison but not comparison of five super duper interesting women. nothing wrong with this except that there were a few moments when i would have liked a bit more conviction in admitting instances of wrongdoing or bits and pieces that may have been okay at the time but don’t hold up today. like there’s nothing wrong with admitting that people who otherwise were pioneers also held dodgy views- we don’t have to shy away from it all the time !
