  • In today's video we're going to be looking at my top 10 novels of the 1920s.
    The 1920s was a great decade for literature. My recommendations include books still widely popular today, as well as lesser known gems waiting to be discovered!
    Those novels and timestamps are:
    Gentleman Prefer Blondes - 01:34
    Mrs Dalloway - 03:04
    Greenery Street - 04:43
    The Great Gatsby - 05:58
    The Age of Innocence - 07:24
    The Enchanted April - 08:26
    The Well of Loneliness - 09:48
    Parade's End - 11:38
    The Crowded Street - 13:38
    The Sun Also Rises - 14:50
    Next week I'll be reviewing my top 10 novels of the 1930s. There'll be whisky, shouting at manservants and loads more great reads - you won't want to miss it!

    Worth reading is Radclyffe Hall's "Adam's Breed", (1926). Winner of the James Tait Black Memorial Prize. A much better book than "The Well of Loneliness", which in itself is a good read and has become iconic in a way. I'm working my way through all your videos. The bite size reviews are just perfect. Have you stopped producing videos?

      I love Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. I’m hoping your 1930’s selection includes Our Spoons Came from Woolworths by Barbara Comyns. Love that book!

    The awkward pause as your champagne pourer struggles with opening the bottle. 😂
    Edit: I continued watching and learned his name is Geoffrey.
    Geoffrey is amazing.

      Thank you so much Bethany! It goes without saying that I would love to pass your comments onto Joffrey but worry that such high praise would only go to his head! (You know what butlers are like!)🤣
