I wish I had that original VMC edition. Mine's the VMC omnibus of all 4 books but I like that cover better... As Simon says, you really need to read the other books now.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512516523018627966.post-34515573125611810822012-07-06T15:27:01.269+01:002012-07-06T15:27:01.269+01:00Thank you Simon!

It definitely goes on my favourite books list, and I've started the PL Goes Further (online, thanks to Project Gutenberg Australia), which I think I'm enjoying even more - I couldn't stop laughing at the French holiday.

I will certainly be reading the novel again, but if I'm to live with this particular edition I will have to cover it with something dull and faded!Christine Hardinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09814026435889782750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512516523018627966.post-44331523300617088762012-07-05T16:04:50.269+01:002012-07-05T16:04:50.269+01:00This is absolutely one of my favourite books, I ca...This is absolutely one of my favourite books, I can pick it up and re-read it at any time, her observations on character remain so true today.

I loved the Provincial Lady books and had forgotten her struggles with the servants, entertaining, and Our Vicar's Wife. The heroine of Late and Soon, Valentine, has some similar difficulties. Thanks for reminding me of this terrific novel. I've got it somewhere and now I long to reread it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
