margo666 's review for:

The Franchise Affair by Josephine Tey
2.0

Well I finished The Franchise Affair and I have to sat it's the first time I have been driven to finish a book by shear disgust at the ideas it puts forwards. I began to get a little uncomfortable both author ad charactors quite early into this novel but it was so well written that I decided to stick with it. What carried my on to the end was disbelief that anyone could take this woman seriously.

It is a piece by Sarah Waters that puts the story into context. I still hate the book, but maybe my reaction says as much about my own prejudices as it does about Ms. Teys.
