#it irks me because casual 1950s misogyny occurs but is challenged
Text
Aghhhh The Sweetness At The Bottom of the Pie is my favourite mystery novel but I feel like I cam never recommend it on account of the racism.
#it's set in 1950 but it was written in 2009#it irks me because casual 1950s misogyny occurs but is challenged#whereas casual 1950s racism is not. indeed the main character herself is extremely racist.#which is. in character for a rich white british 11 year old in 1950 (or today...)#but is also just jarring to randomly stumble across in the middle of an otherwise fun and jaunty murder investigation#dont know what the solution to this is. but i do hope the author figures out a solution in a later book#alan bradley why did you do this to me personally#books#murder mystery#mystery books#lizard life#trenchcoat reviews#middle grade fiction
