pickI loved this delightful novel about the life of the upper class in countryside England. It‘s deftly written, with a turn of phrase and wonderful dry sense of humour that reminded me of P. G. Wodehouse (high praise) and the Folio edition has a forward by Jilly Cooper. A woman‘s view of 1920s Britain, parenting, class snobbery & the Feminists. And laugh-out-loud funny. Thoroughly enjoyable, I recommend it!
pick4⭐️ I like Celia Dale; I‘m already collecting her other titles published by Daunt Books. This one here is so refreshing. A gentle crime novel that is not too creepy, just a tad disturbing. How did she do that? I love it!
Reading my own shelves!
pick4⭐️ My second time reading this, and I enjoyed it more than the first time. I haven‘t watched the movie yet but heard praises about it. Which is your favorite Elizabeth Taylor?

My current read, and one I‘ve been meaning to get to for years, is this 1910 Australian classic about a country girl who is sent to a Melbourne boarding school.
Have any of my Australian friends on Litsy read it? 😀
pickAnother great read from Celia. I couldn‘t put this down.. Grace and Janice meet in prison , when they are released they team up and make their living visiting old ladies. There‘s a bit of romance thrown in too .. and the result is a compelling story. I loved it ! The more I read her , the more I like her. I must get another one for my shelf.
Thankyou Trish for the gift of this book ❤️👌🏻
N. B. The book is not, 700 pages. It‘s about 300.
This #SundaySentence is about Pamela Frankau from Raffaella Barker's introduction to this novel.
Thankyou Trish! More Celia Dale 🥰 Yay. I am spoilt for choice now. Thankyou my old Litsy friend XxX
