Square Haunting: Five Writers in London Between the Wars by Francesca Wade
3.0
To be fair, I've been pretty scattered while listening to this one. This is the story of five female writers whose lives are woven together by an address. That all of these women occupied the same address was quite amazing. Some of them had nothing else in common besides Mecklenburgh Square.
There were some interesting parts of the book, but it's just a lot of information I will never retain. There are so many different people in this book. It reads like a whos-who in literature, art, society, and politics. But these women were all over the place. There were at least 19,000 affairs. Many of them wide out in the open for the spouse to witness. I had a difficult time keeping everyone straight. I think it is just May brain, but I'm ready for a juicy story I can sink my teeth into.
