From her often difficult neighbours to her always unsympathetic husband, her rambunctious children, and the household staff she in no way rules, this anonymous diarist shares the minutia of her life in an often wry and witty, but charmingly, adorably self-effacing, manner that is sure to delight any Heyer fan. The series continues as our lady leaves the provinces, and all are delightful, but the first is the best.
