British Library Women Writers: Tea is So Intoxicating
A curated collection of novels by prominent female authors of their day, the 'British Women's Writers' series highlights women's experiences of life inside and outside the home at a time when the roles of women in society were rapidly changing.
First published in 1950, Tea is So Intoxicating was written by Ursula Bloom (journalist, magazine features editor, playwright, television/radio personality, and one of the most popular and bestselling authors of the twentieth century) under the pen name of Mary Essex, and features a charming village setting, farcical humour, and a diverse cast of characters who while not entirely likeable are tremendously amusing.
