Ann Veronica by H.G. Wells

4.0

This certainly wasn't what I was expecting from H.G. Wells but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Ann Veronica was a well written character, with depth that made her likeable to the reader. Her personal development, particularly during times of difficulty, was very well written, and the male characters she was set against made me like her all the more. She is roundly capable of fighting back against misogyny, but has a lot more to offer the reader than her simply being a dedicated suffragette. The reader is firmly on her side, and many of the discussions they have in the book are still relevant to today's society, such as the economic position of women, male attitudes, potential cross gender friendships and the relationship between a parent and child. That these subjects still affect people today helps the book maintain relevancy and enables the reader to feel even more sympathetic to Ann Veronica, as many can understand her struggle
