Square Haunting: Five Writers in London Between the Wars by Francesca Wade

5.0

Clever conceit, well-written and very well-researched (the endnotes are also excellent, even though the have done that pissy thing where a word is quoted in lieu of a superscript number JUST DON'T DO IT). Anyway, it made me want to go rampant with a machete on the goolies of men in general, and Oxbridge types in particular (Somerville fellows had to give up their fellowships on marriage until 1993. 1993 I MEAN FFS), but one of the best books I've read for a while.
