Every Book Mentioned in Cry Havoc (Rebecca Wait)
I think the author is using books as a character and social commentary. I’ve added one film poster & one play reference because they were originally written stories. I wonder if I have missed any.
(Cry Havoc is a wry, compelling, and funnier than expected, mystery at an all girls boarding school in 1980’s UK. Everyone has a secret and everything is going wrong. There’s a strange contagion taking place. A very satisfying read).
