Pickpick

Looking for something light & frothy to keep away the end of Easter blues, I came across this book gathering dust (literally) in my library. While I wouldn't go as far as Stephen Fry, I did find it entertaining and amusing. It tells a fictionalised version of Noel Coward's life in his country house in the 20's & 30's & a wholly fictional story of a famous actor living there in the present day. Not under rated but lesser know for #Booked2021?

Cinfhen Nice pick!! 4y

?"Please, darling-you really must stop getting so very cross so very quickly, it's so bad for your metabolism"?

This delightful read is set on an uninhibited island in the South Pacific with a handsome beachcomber, luscious Dutchess, restless natives-sexy too, girls-will-be-boys, and a visit from the Queen (God save her!) and Prince Consort-per the blurb on cover. ? #LaIslaBonita
