I wish more romance novels were like this one. More about the characters and less about the sex.
I really enjoy Nancy Mitford and her view on life. It is delightful to imagine growing up as a Radlett, having secret meetings in the cupboard, surrounded by the family warmth, hiding from Uncle Matthew and overall having very decided opinions about many things. While this book can be laugh out loud funny, there is also a sad undertone to it that is punctuated by the abrupt ending. However, as an Anglophile, it is an enjoyable read and fellow Anglophiles will also enjoy it.
