Description
In this body swap comedy from the 1930s, the minds of two strangers, aristocrat Lady Elizabeth and middle-class Polly Wilkinson, switch places with baffling and hilarious results.
With wry observations on class, behaviour, and relationships, both attempt to navigate the different social settings and awkward situations they suddenly find themselves thrust into. The switches take place randomly with very little warning.
Eventually, the two women are able to contrive a meeting and learn to control their 'gift', effecting positive changes in each other's lives.
Strange Journey by Maud Cairnes offers a delightful exploration of identity and social commentary, guaranteed to entertain and provoke thought in equal measure.

About the Author
Maud Cairnes was the pseudonym for Lady Maud Kathleen Cairnes Plantagenet-Hastings Curzon-Herrick. As a member of the aristocracy, she would have had personal insight into the lifestyle and manners of Lady Elizabeth, but she also creates Polly's character with equal skill, bringing authenticity to her language and household.
