You can maybe nominate it for our April read.

Brenda (gd2brivard) | 1270 comments Tracey, I’m just worried how accessible it would be. It’s a British Library Women Writers rerelease. Looking on Amazon, that’s the only listing and I don’t find one copy in an inter library search.

That is something to consider. Maybe another book by Ursula Bloom as I know Dean Street Press is reprinting her works.

That was the one I thought of.

The other one I was trying to remember the name of is To Bed With Grand Music by Marghanita Laski. I think the character was based on someone she knew, so she published under a pseudonym.

Agatha Christie published some books under the name Mary Westmacott. I might nominate one of those.
