A review by veelaughtland
To Bed With Grand Music by Marghanita Laski
4.0
A book about sex during wartime, and a refreshing insight into women's lives during wartime that isn't entirely focused on working towards the war effort and keeping the home.
The protagonist Deborah is both wonderful and hateful, a really divisive character who I adored reading about. She begins the novel having some kind of moral code, but as she makes the move to London to work (under the guise that it will benefit her child more than having her at home), she begins to fall into affair after affair after affair - and her fall is brilliant.
The ending was not what I expected, and was darkly comic which I really appreciated, and overall I thought this was great fun. I'll definitely be checking out Marghanita Laski's other work.
