A good read: www.theguardian.com/books/2023/feb/27/hags-by-victoria-smith-review-welcome-to-the-age-of-rage

What could be going on at the Guardian? Is there a bit of a reverse ferret happening?

A great review - and yes, it appears to be under the aegis of The Guardian's "Book of the Day".

I think Rachel Cooke is Observer, however?

Maybe, but it was published in the Guardian and that interested me. I thought it more likely they would have hidden the link.

Yup, Observer. Rachel Cooke has been extremely good on gender matters, and interviewed David Bell a little while ago. I would be very surprised indeed if the Guardian reviews it - though it's interesting that they've signposted the review on their home page. I wonder who made that decision.

It is indeed. By Rachel Cooke from the Observer who also reviewedHannah Barnes’s book.
