The Provincial Lady in America by E.M. Delafield

3.0

Three and a half stars.

I noticed that many Goodreads reviewers mentioned that they did not like this one as well as the first two books. So of course, I liked this one better than the first two. The pacing is faster, and we meet many new characters, instead of the same two or three people back home. My favorite part is when she takes a side trip to Canada, where an acquaintance presents her with the gift of a handgun. Think about that for a minute. She tours America for a few months, and it's not until she goes to Canada that someone hands her a gun. How times change!

I think I'm committed to finishing out the series at this point. The Provincial Lady in Wartime appears to be readily available in audio, but The Provincial Lady in Russia (which seems to have several alternate titles) is not. The idea of her traipsing around Soviet Russia is fascinating, to say the least, so I may have to carve out the time to read a print version.
