Reviews

[Patrizia]

Uno dei più sfrenati di Joan Smith: un vero vaudeville. E, come sempre, la sua scelta di dar voce direttamente all'eroina (con il suo miscuglio di sprovvedutezza e pruderie) aggiunge un tocco ulteriore di umorismo alla narrazione.

L'avevo archiviato tra i 'rieleggibili', e, appunto, l'ho riletto. Mi son divertita come cinque anni fa, ma con il rimpianto di avere esaurito gli stravaganti 'regency' di Joan Smith. Mia cara, sei sicura che non vuoi riprovarci?
