Lovely!Lyrical descriptions of landscape, people, and cultural differences. She wrote from her own place and time, but was not bound by social context in her affection for people and place. Her perceptions and her comparative descriptions are so original, I was repeatedly and delightfully surprised into rereading phrases or whole paragraphs. I just would have liked to have read about the affair with Denys Finch-Hatton.
