E.V. Lucas seems to have made his living from writing essays and 'comment pieces' in the many society journals of the 1920s & '30s. I've read a few of the collected publications of these; the style is easy and fun, and there are always interesting little insights into life in the inter-war period. There are also often areas of twee nostalgia and class privilege, though, and unfortunately the balance in this book is much more towards the latter ⭐⭐
Buechersuechtling Nice review. Thank you. At first, I thought you might have mistaken your rating but the last subordinate clause brought the message home. 🙂 5y
