A review by jaynecm
Strange Journey by Maud Cairnes, Simon Thomas
4.5
I have always loved body swap books, since reading Freaky Friday as a child.
This is a charming book, as we see middle class wife and mother Polly swapping with Lady Elizabeth. It is different to many body swap stories as the two women are strangers and the body swaps go backwards and forwards. This makes it infinitely more interesting as they never know when they will end up as each other.
A delight to read, as much for the 1930s lifestyles as for the main story. There are some comedic episodes as Polly attempts to navigate upper class life, but it is the heartfelt connection between the two women and how they help each other that makes it such a lovely book.
Perfect for an afternoon curled up by a cosy fire.
