Press Reviews
- Spectator
With touches of Nancy Mitford, Barbara Pym and PG Wodehouse, Angela Thirkell's sparkling prose recounts misunderstandings and mishaps in a particularly English way.
- Glasgow Sunday Herald
Appealing.
Alexander McCall Smith

- Elle Decoration
If you like Nancy Mitford you'll love this
- Good Book Guide
A witty romantic comedy and a warm and inviting piece of social satire from this sharply observant and popular writer
