I really enjoyed this book. The author writes deftly and her humour ranges from subtle and understated wit to laugh-out-loud goofiness. Sadie Jones has a ear for class differences in dialect and an eye for the costumes and decor of an English country house. The Edwardian period in which the story is set really came alive for me. Each character is unique and very humanly quirky and flawed. Though the ending was a bit over the top, it was still very satisfying. At just over 230-some pages, it felt as if not a word was wasted in the telling of this delightful tale.
