Second in a series. I enjoy Delafield’s writing and dry sense of humor. And her books give a fascinating picture of the life of an upper middle class English family between the wars. But I didn’t connect with this book as much as I did the first one, Diary of a Provincial Lady. I’m not sure why… perhaps because her writing style was already familiar to me so I didn’t find it as novel and refreshing.
