But before Batten died in 1916, Radclyffe-Hall, known in private as 'John', had taken up with the second love of her life, Una, Lady Troubridge, who gave up her own creative aspirations (she was the first English translator of the French novelist Colette) to manage the household which she shared with 'John' for 28 years. Batten and Radclyffe Hall entered into a long-term relationship. In 1907, she met a middle-aged fashionable singer, Mrs Mabel Batten, known as 'Ladye", who introduced her to influential people. In the drawing rooms of Edwardian society, Marguerite made a small name as a poet and librettist. Mother on the south coast of England perhaps battered Radclyffe Hall, whose father, a playboy, known as 'Rat', meanwhile ignored her. People in Great Britain and the United States originally banned The Well of Loneliness (1928), obscene novel of British writer Marguerite Radclyffe Hall.

Sidhwa models her protagonist Lenny on herself. In the year following the partition, a million people were murdered before India and Pakistan agreed to stop fighting. Despite promises of religious freedom, Muslims in Pakistan and Sikhs and Hindus in India attacked and killed whichever was the religious minority or drove them out. Millions of displaced people were forced to relocate to whichever country aligned with their religion or face devastating violence. The solution was to partition India, drawing a line to create the majority-Muslim country of Pakistan, with brutal results. The withdrawal of the British Raj left the three major Indian religions-Muslim, Sikh, and Hindu-fighting for control. When Britain declared war on behalf of India during World War II, the move galvanized long-standing Indian independence movements until India ceased being a colony and finally got home rule. The novel begins in 1942, when India was an English colony. The 1947 partition of India that created the majority-Muslim country of Pakistan shapes the events of the novel.

The writer looks at this phenomenon critically, confronting the reality of her daily ‘’beauty’’ routines. Irby comments ironically, “Wow, she got that skin just from vitamins?” Living up to their standards is often difficult as they use expensive products, which, even if you can afford, do not guarantee the same results.

From the perspective of a 40-year-old woman, Samantha Irby reflects on her life mostly by concentrating on the struggles middle-aged people face. The main character of the book ‘’Wow, No Thank You’’ is the writer herself. Another aspect to highlight in this book is how the author develops the transition of feelings. In addition, the drawings give the impression of being colored by hand. The images have colors of the eye of the child. The illustrations are made on a white background which highlights each aspect of the drawing. In its cover we can see a great heart die-cut, with the edges in different colors and that decreases in size as we explore each of the feelings. One of the aspects that attracts the book is its physical aspect. This is a great book that can be used as a support for the child's socio-emotional development. The language used is simple, lyrical and demonstrative, which is expressed through short paragraphs. The storyline is about a little girl who talks about different types of feelings and how she perceives and expresses them. I like it because it is a book that allows the reader to see himself through feelings.
