At Home with the Jardines
An interesting story about the marriage of Aubrey and Faith Jardine and all the trials and tribulations of their domestic life, problems with their house, relatives, guests, their cook and other domestic staff, all narrated in an "innocent" and charming way evocative of the time period.Just a light, frothy read and you have to remember as the reader the time this was set and written in and to appreciate the morals and way of life of the day so at times though it sounds archaic in its tone and viewpoints you have to accept it just for what it is, a product of its time.Overall a great read as it gives you a glimpse into the lives and social strata of the day
