Half of the Human Race by Anthony Quinn

This book is excellent. "I couldn't put it down*!!" It is about a young suffragette whose beliefs and ambitions clash with social expectations, and her one time admirer, a young man who becomes an officer during World War I. It is interesting, well written and easy to read. The characters are perhaps a little idealised but not so as to detract from the overall believability of the narrative. I very much enjoyed this and would wholeheartedly recommend it.

* although I use this ironically it is metaphorically true.
