Love in a Cold Climate is better plotted, this one is more an amusing string of vignettes but fun nonetheless.

Surprisingly, Mitford through her narrator proxy has a lot of hope and affection for her characters — who, I believe, are thinly veiled proxies for her family — and that always gives the satire a sense of humanity.
