jlmb 's review for:
Brat Farrar
by Josephine Tey
Tey is a wonderful writer. She depicts a certain sort of English village life beautifully. I felt like I was there with the family and the horses. Her characters are well-developed and believable in their actions.
One major niggle I had about this book was the timeline. I'm so confused! I assume the novel was meant to have a current day setting when it was published in 1949 yet there is almost no mention of the recent war. Where are the ration books? How is Brat able to easily buy a whole new wardrobe? Why wouldn't Brat have tried to enlist in the military at some point? The period seemed more like it was between the wars yet there were 2 small references to WWII so it wasn't the 1930s. Hmmmm.
