I've read a bit of Nancy Mitford before and she is so good at subtle,sly humor. <br />Are you reading any other Christmas themed books?Anbolyn (Gudrun's Tights)http://gudrunstights.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203893324932668537.post-15291900092101470912011-12-18T12:00:14.545-06:002011-12-18T12:00:14.545-06:00I wasn't expecting such a theme, Claire, since...I wasn't expecting such a theme, Claire, since the last two of her books that I read were more about politics (Wigs on the Green and Pigeon Pie).

The thing that appeals to me the most about this, aside from it having been written by Nancy Mitford obviously, is Philadelphia's love triangle. I adore reading about the conflicting motivations for marriage (love or practicality) and am encouraged to hear that this is one of the book's major themes!Claire (The Captive Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07430380065718826213noreply@blogger.com
