  1. #vendredilecture

    Josephine TEY, Miss Pym Disposes.

    Par l'autrice de "Daughter of Time," sans doute le meilleur roman policier classique jamais écrit (si vous ne l'avez pas lu, foncez ! - "La Fille du temps", jadis publié chez 10/18) .

  2. I've just finished Josephine Tey's "The Franchise Affair" and have been struck by its conservatism. This excellent Sarah Waters essay spotlights some of the fears and resentments seething in the book.

    I would recommend "The Franchise Affair" not just as a gripping detective story but also as an insight into the post WW2 Tory mind.
