Fabulous
This wonderful book is as light as souffle and just as delicious, it is best read lying on the chaise longue in your boudoir, wearing a marabou trimmed dressing gown, languidly sipping pink champagne and the scent of Chanel No 5 in the air is of course mandatory.

Classic Mitford
This book can be read in it's own right, but I feel that I enjoyed it more because I had already read her earlier works, "The Pursuit of Love" and "Love in a Cold Climate" in which we get introduced to Fanny for the first time. She now seems like an old friend, and plenty more old faces pop up. I like the fact that the times have moved on and Mitford tackles the rise of the "teenage" phenomenon of the fifties with her usual dry wit and irony. I find it especially interesting to read it now in the light of the current obsession with youth culture. Read this and find out how it all began!
