Some Do Not... by Max Saunders

4.0

I really enjoyed this book, even more so than I thought I would. I can already tell I'm going to be rereading this series at some point, which I certainly hadn't expected. The time period, topics and tone distinguish this book as part of the post WWI deluge, and yet the grand sweep of events and personal turmoil as a metaphor for the changes facing British society as whole reminds me distinctly of nineteenth century Russian novels.

Meanwhile: "If you wanted something killed you'd go to Sylvia Tietjens in the sure faith that she would kill it; emotion: hope: ideal: kill it quick and sure." MY GIRL!!!

On to book 2.
