Description
A striking debut novel from Pamela Hansford Johnson, This Bed Thy Centre is a witty and satirical tale of seduction and marriage. Set in 1930s London, it follows Elsie Cotton as she navigates her growing curiosity about sex and relationships. The novel's frank and humorous approach to its subject matter was considered bold for its time, leading to controversy upon its publication in 1935. Despite this, it marked the start of Hansford Johnson's distinguished career as a writer. Praise for Pamela Hansford Johnson's work has been forthcoming from notable authors such as Anthony Burgess and A.S. Byatt, who have praised her wit, satire, and craftsmanship.
