The L-Shaped Room by Lynne Reid Banks
4.0
It's impossible to avoid mentioning the continuous racism throughout this book. Yes, it was written in 1960, but in my opinion that's no excuse. The characterisation and descriptions of John made my skin crawl.
It's a shame, because had this not been the case, this probably would have been an all-time favourite of mine. I loved the writing style, the plot, the way Jane's character developed (and secondary characters), and that this story of unmarried motherhood was so boldly told in a time of stigma.
