When I went to work in London my mother sent me to have tea with a very upper crusty lady of her acquaintance in the hope, I think, that might help me `move up' socially.The lady placed me by my accent and after describing her daughter's distinguished marital prospects she told me "but of course you will have to work for a living."

I haven't written a proper review yet, but I laughed out loud multiple times at the use of words and language. Amazing writing- so chaotic, so funny. The only downside was the portrayal of women, even for the time it was set and written in.Carmenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14011202283502224742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027299943447728658.post-30207440788237319312019-04-13T00:01:55.554-04:002019-04-13T00:01:55.554-04:00My review of: Candide Didn't love it.My review of: <a href="https://100greatestnovelsofalltimequest.blogspot.com/2019/04/candide-by-voltaire-novel-124.html" rel="nofollow">Candide</a> Didn't love it.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00466108789532345790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027299943447728658.post-11749021605926125122019-03-24T14:47:31.218-04:002019-03-24T14:47:31.218-04:00I chose Sprig Muslin, a Georgette Heyer Regency ro...I chose Sprig Muslin, a Georgette Heyer Regency romance, for my comic novel. :)Lark https://www.blogger.com/profile/13777891312147377769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027299943447728658.post-86784782801368478722019-03-21T12:56:13.986-04:002019-03-21T12:56:13.986-04:00Awesome!

I had read a short story collection for the "comedy" category.... which I later realized is actually called the "comic novel" category. <br /><br />Does my "My Man Jeeves" count for this??<br /><br />I had already linked up my review here... but let me know! I can find another title to read for this category (if needed) -- I'll just follow whatever you say. :D Tarissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05390283409265644737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027299943447728658.post-42526134912560759382019-02-18T00:22:35.326-05:002019-02-18T00:22:35.326-05:00"Queen Lucia" is the first of the Mapp &..."Queen Lucia" is the first of the Mapp & Lucia comedies by EF Benson.
