Just the relaxing read I needed. Very funny at times, a tiny bit boring at times in all its endless descriptiveness which I skim-read, but on the whole a very delicious read. I'd read this one probably when it came out (1990), not much later anyway, but that's long enough ago that I didn't remember anything. And it was interesting to me that while I can see more of what she does with the writing and the characters than I could then, I still enjoyed it. Not all books I once enjoyed can take a reread decades later.
