This was just delightful, charming, and made me laugh out loud quite a lot. Now I'm craving to read more books penned by the Mitford sisters, as well as about their lives!

Revisited this to pull myself out of a bad book slump. I adore the humour, wit, and evocation of that specific time period and that specific set. It's so light-touch, and yet deceptively melancholy. A pleasure.

I forgot I read this book and don't remember much about it--other than two affluent white women joking about being raped by "foreigners".

Costumbrismo de entreguerras sin nada especial pero bastante agradable de leer.
