The third in E. M. Delafield's The Provincial Lady series, this book is a fictional diary of the Provincial Lady's booktour of America, published in 1934. Like the two previous books in the series, it is fun and funny. Though it didn't quite sparkle as much as the first two, the novel is still charming and I enjoyed spending time with the Provincial Lady as she declines tea, a drink she does not like, offered by everyone she meets, is constantly told that Boston is just like England, and is asked wherever she travels about The American Woman, and Anthony Adverse.
