Mariana by Monica Dickens

4.0

Loved the meander through 1920s and 1930s British childhood, boarding school, cousin-romance, Paris as a foreign student, and then home again. The ominous background of WW2 and waiting to hear about her (now) husband by thinking about her long-ago childhood is a wonderful bracket for the story. I enjoyed this so much I read it twice through.
