An unexpected trend in my 2023 reading life has been books about the absurdly wealthy making silly decisions. I have no regrets. Nancy Mitford's writing remains a delight and a half.

Not Mitford's best work, but this is a nice book to read this time of year. The character's are fairly loveable, and complex. The plot is a bit everywhere, the second half of the book is definitely better so it's worth persevering through the first half. Some of the book has definitely not aged well either.
