The Blessing by Nancy Mitford

4.0

More snark from Nancy Mitford.
Quotable:

"I wish I understood Americans," said Charles-Edouard. "They are very strange. So good, and yet so dull. "
"What makes you think they are so good?"
"You can see it, shining in their eyes."
"That's not goodness, that's contact lenses--a kind of spectacle they wear next to the eyeball. I had an American lover after the liberation and I used to tap his eye with my nail file."
