Good Press, 2019

Saki's 'When William Came' is a satirical novel that takes a critical look at the effects of a foreign invasion on British society. Written in Saki's signature witty and dark humor style, the book explores themes of nationalism, societal upheaval, and the loss of British identity. Set in Edwardian England, 'When William Came' provides a scathing commentary on the political climate of the time, offering a unique blend of social commentary and entertainment. Saki's sharp writing and keen observation skills make this novel a must-read for anyone interested in British literature of the early 20th century. Hector Hugh Munro, known by his pen name Saki, was a British writer and satirist with a keen eye for social hypocrisy and absurdity. His own experiences as a journalist and political commentator likely influenced his decision to write 'When William Came,' a novel that challenges readers to rethink their assumptions about patriotism and national identity. Saki's distinctive storytelling style and dark humor set him apart as a unique voice in British literature. I highly recommend 'When William Came' to readers who enjoy satirical fiction that delves into societal issues with a touch of dark humor. Saki's sharp wit and keen insight make this novel a captivating read that will leave you thinking long after you've finished it.
