Blogger, podcaster and consultant for the British Library Women Writers series Simon Thomas returns to the show to discuss Angela Milne’s 1942 novel One Year’s Time. The book follows a year in the life of a 1930s-era “bachelor girl” named Liza who lives in London. Milne, the niece of Winnie the Pooh author A.A. Milne, was a contributor to Punch magazine, and her snappy wit shines bright in this charming and surprisingly modern novel. Fans of the Netflix series One Day will be particularly drawn to the book’s heroine and her gorgeous-but-commitment-phobic beau.
