The 39 Steps by John Buchan
2.0

One if those books that really shows its age. I can appreciate the adventure element and importance to jump starting the spy genre, but ugh to the rest. the only reference to a “she” is a boat, colonialism and empire were viewed as positives. There was so much white wealthy European male privilege on display it didn’t sit well with me.
