Highland Fling by Nancy Mitford
4.0
Another Nancy Mitford that I adored. She's wonderful. I think alternating between her and Barbara Pym should be used to treat depression because both will have you laughing numerous times.
'Highland Fling' follows four people, Alfred, Jane, Sally and Walter (who have just recently got married) who are invited to spend time in a grand castle in Scotland by Sally's kindly relatives. Once there, there are arguments, disappearing picnic baskets, fires, drunken singsongs and general madness. Oh, and a love affair blossoms that has the potential to make or break the holiday.
Nancy Mitford is someone whom I would've loved to have known, I find myself so in sync with her humour that it makes me sad how little she wrote.
