A really interesting character study that explores manifestations of creativity and privilege in children ‘raised’ by a scarved dancer clearly inspired by Isadora Duncan.

By the author of my favorite book!
This edition had green printed chapter headers.
Pappy uses the word "directly" - like my dad.
A reference to Charing Cross Hospital.
"When I pack," said Pappy, "I pack for all eternity."

Another world. I wanted to get lost in that world and I did. Sometimes hilarious and sometimes heartbreaking. An enjoyable re-read.

Having read several of her novels by now, this is not her best work, but it does contain all the recipes of her writings, so I still enjoyed the read, hard as it was to root for anyone other than Celia (justice for Celia & Caroline!)

This was so intriguing. Tbh I wish there had been more bc I am kinda obsessed with these champagne problem weirdos.
