A lighthearted, well observed, and endearing read. It didn't rock my world but it did make me chuckle!

Occasionally funny, mostly grating (the lower classes take themselves so seriously!), momentarily touching work, which I rejoiced to finish. Though quite interested in the amateur theatricals and enamel paint jobs.

This is another one of those books that I really wish Goodreads had a 4.5 star rating for. 4 stars seems very rough for how comical and amusing this book is, but to give it 5 stars would put it on a pedastal I don't think it's even trying for, and would probably mock behind its back. 4.5 stars would be a perfect compromise for this book, considering its humor and innovativeness, but also the fact it is not even trying to be "one of the classics". Overall, highly recommend (obviously a 4.5)
