A look into the world of the aristocracy through the eyes of an aristocrat. It is very readable, entertaining and humorous. Vita is definitely laughing at her class but, of course, that is much easier to do when you are comfortably ensconced in that world. It's an interesting insight.

ReplyDeleteAs is 'One Day' by David Nicholls - have you read or heard of it? Gets a good write up from reviewers, but don't they always.
No I haven't heard of it. Who or what period is he writing about?
ReplyDeleteNothing historical, total fiction, just noticed in Amazon, it sounds good....?
ReplyDeletea reader's review:
ReplyDeleteit's stuffed with literary calories. Emma and Dexter jump out of the book and start living with you, eat your food and argue over the top of your head about the worthlessness of Scrabble. So much of the sharp-razor sharp dialogue sticks a grin on your face, people are unlikely to sit next to you on the train.
