This delightfully cynical novel by Edwin Greenwood offers a deliciously satirical take on the modern world’s reaction to a seemingly impossible event. Published in 1936, just a few years before the outbreak of World War II, “…Miracle in the Drawing Room” provides a fascinating glimpse into the social mores and attitudes of the interwar period. Greenwood’s biting wit and keen observations skewer the complacency and hypocrisy of the era’s upper classes, while his deft handling of the supernatural elements adds an intriguing layer of mystique. Collectors will appreciate this well-preserved copy of a relatively obscure work that captures the zeitgeist of its time. Readers drawn to sharp social commentary and genre-blending narratives will relish Greenwood’s daring exploration of faith, skepticism, and the human capacity for both wonder and cynicism.
