3.0
Paul Gallico sure does hate Russia.
That's what caught me the most--not Mrs. 'Arris and her various catastrophes, but the constant carping on the Soviet Union, to the point that I'm not sure that this being a Cold War-era novel explains it.
〰
Mrs. 'Arris's long-suffering friend Violet Butterfield gets a chance to be the heroine for once. The women's friendship is really nice; they're supportive but they tell each other the truth when it's needed.
〰
I thought this was a disappointing end to the series, but I'm glad I read it.
