This is a much appreciated title by a lot - and I mean a lot - people.

I didnt know what to expect, got suprised and laughed a lot. What utter chaos! The muffins! The cucumber bread! The British accents! The sisterhood! The brotherhood, oh, what a mess.

Its not a long book and full of character and I will certainly read it one day, for I am sure theres a lot to be uncovered.

Give it a try, folks!

There is a free audiobook on Spotify for anyone interested in listening in themselves.

I read this for a book club, and I look forward to discussing it. It is, of course, delightfully ridiculous.

Tengo que admitir que no esperaba para nada que me fuera a gustar tanto porque, para empezar, el teatro no es que sea precisamente my cup of tea. Pero sí, la verdad es que me ha gustado mucho. El estilo de Oscar Wilde es, a mi parecer, bastante peculiar y creo que "no da puntada sin hilo".
