Old Baggage by Lissa Evans
4.0
As she did with [b:Crooked Heart|19546111|Crooked Heart|Lissa Evans|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1403645702l/19546111._SY75_.jpg|27676536], Evans conjures a wonderful group of characters and evokes 1930s London with panache.
I enjoyed reading this book so much, I didn't want it to end - and the ending for one of the characters knocked this from 5 stars to 4.
Who am I kidding? We all know lesbians aren't allowed happy endings in fiction.
