Been reading it a while now, put it down and forgot to pick it up again. Will carry on with it from now, part of my nightly reading routine of a double page spread a night. So many books, so little time. I have a hardback 'Herbert Jenkins Limited, 3 Duke of York Street, St. James's, London SW2' and it's part of a series I think.

edit/ 240423 I've given up on it. I just can't read old, vintage books. The writing is too hard, they were cleverer in them days! No clue what they were on about half the time so it can go on my vintage bookcase and look learned with all the others. I love the actual books, more than the content. Reading onscreen is not for me even with the modern stuff.

There is so much I should hate about this book. The casual anti-semitism, so much of its period, the patronising of the lower classes, aren't they a laugh but the salt of the earth, you know, and the anti-German sentiment which of course is so prevalent in novels written during the Great War - but despite all this I couldn't stop reading. It's a threadbare framework, of course, but the characters overcome that: Sallie with her Mercedes, Boy with his awful Mater and his DSO, some Wodehousian servants, and the adorable Bindle with his views on marriage and his god-bothering wife.
This would not be to everyone's taste, but it suited me perfectly.
