"the sequel to "love in a cold climate." really fun. beautifully written. it's a screwball comedy set in post war France. sort of like drinking champagne with a piece of lovely chocolate. highly recommend."
"Sometimes drags a bit, but gives considerable insight in to the differences between British and Frence sexual mores...and politics. With a sense of humor, and lots of cultural intelligence, but without any particular ethic. Centers around an English woman married to a French aristocrat and "lover of women," trying to come to grips with her jealousy over him."
"This is cute. British/French manners. It is definitely Waughian, and funny. That odd post WWII era that doesn't get written about a lot. Grace, the main char., reminds me of Princess Di had she not been a princess-sweet, lovable, horsey British good looks, utter lack of education/country bumpkin, cuckolded."
