It’s unfortunate to me that this weirdly prescient book was forgotten and lost amongst the many novels that came after World War II. Yes… it is another novel exploring wartime, but Crooked Cross (and its sequels) is especially remarkable because it was written in the interim, years before the second war arrived, practically in real time. Sally Carson uses the average family (people like you & me) to show how shocking events were fueled by a really catastrophic convergence of circumstance that are not unfamiliar to us today: economic collapse, lack of jobs, disillusioned & defeated citizens, the very human tendency to find someone to blame… and the vulnerable youth who desperately needed anything to believe in. The founder of Persephone Books Nicola Beauman rediscovered the novel and put it back into print 92 years later. I think it’s one that would have been in the canon of 20th century British literature if it had not been so neglected. Anyways, thankfully now you can read it! #BookTok #classicliterature #persephonebooks #bookrecommendation #vintagebooks
