We Have Been Warned

Více o knize

Set against the backdrop of 1931, this novel reflects Naomi Mitchison's personal fears and experiences, marking a departure from her historical narratives. Concerned about the rise of fascism and disillusioned by the Russian Revolution, she infuses the story with her intimate feelings, tackling provocative themes like free love, abortion, and marital infidelity. The narrative, however, is described as chaotic and over-written, leading to its lengthy censorship. Despite its flaws, it offers a compelling read for devoted fans of Mitchison.
