It's always lovely to revisit a beloved classic. This was every bit as good this time around.

Vagam između 3 i 4, ali imajući u vidu da je ovo delimično autobiografsko delo a kako sam slaba na tužne sudbine, odlučujem se za veću ocenu.

U prvom delu svojevrsne trilogije, Nensi Mitford nam donosi priču o porodici Radlet. Glavna junakinja je svakako Linda, stvorena od romantike i hedonizma. Najvećim delom romana pratimo Lindu i njene tri ljubavne veze, ali moram priznati da je to posle nekog vremena postalo samo zamorno. Sporedni likovi poput Dejvija i lorda Merlina, pa čak i namćorasti teča Metju su mi bili neuporedivo interesantniji i smešniji.

Najveći problem koji sam imala s ovim romanom jeste to što apsolutno nisam kupila tu veliku ljubav između Linde i Fabrisa. Nensi je Fabrisa modelovala prema svojoj velikoj ljubavi, Gastonu Palevskom, i ako ima iole stvarne sličnosti između njih dvojice - Nensi, dušo, žalim slučaj.

Ovo je svakako bilo zanimljivo štivo i pročitaću i narednu knjigu iz trilogije pošto se bavi potpuno drugim setom likova.

“He was the great love of her life you know.'
'Oh, dulling,' said my mother, sadly, 'One always thinks that. Every, every time.”

I had a lot of fun with this - barring the gut punch of the last page or so - and all the characters are vividly drawn and memorable, if not lovable. Enjoyed being immersed in a period/genre I’m not as familiar with.
