LOVE! To Love and Be Wise ...I love, love, love Tey. LOVE! To Love and Be Wise is my favorite, because of all the strangely timeless literary satire. I feel like it makes a great read-a-like with Cold Comfort Farm and Graham Greene's Orient Express books from the same period, because of how they all mock the very mucky depressing country novels that are in vogue at the time. <br /><br />Have you read the Farthing trilogy by Jo Walton? They're a series of suspense novels set in a semi-Fascist England that caved to Nazi Germany rather than fighting WWII, and they're inspired by the weirdly ahistorical nature of Brat Farrar. They're pretty fantastic.Cassandra Mortmainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02980440861507976453noreply@blogger.com
