A review by paperbacksandpines
Strange Journey by Maud Cairnes, Simon Thomas
3.0
Marketed as a bod-swap comedy, I found it less Freaky Friday and more like a swap between a commentary on the divide between Cora Crawley from Downton Abbey and one of the stay at home moms from her village.
I saw this book as commentary on the divide between the social classes and the changing nature of domestic "help" post WWI. The situations in which Polly found herself to be in both nail biting yet they enabled to become a more confident version of herself than she felt she could in her own life.
While this wasn't my favorite book in the British Library Women Writers line, I still enjoyed it for what it was.
