I've read all the reviews posted here and can see I'm in a tiny minority of folks who've read this, but I can't for the life of me see what this book is about. Nothing ever happens, just talk, talk, talk, and a lot of feel-goodism. The word "leisurely" has been used a lot, and that's putting it kindly. Books should be stimulating, not stultifying. Sorry to all the Mitford Fans, but I just can't like these books.
