As I discovered from my reading list in 2021, I enjoy modern classics written by women so decided to read this first novel of Nancy Mitford. Like much of her work it is a satire of her own “set” and family. Clearly a first novel but still a good eye for characterization and for skewering pretensions- here the gentry, old peers, bright young things, those of artistic sentiment and couples who are “poor but blissful”. Only 3⭐️ from me but a fun read
