I have inexplicably forgotten absolutely everything about all of these books. All of them. I think I enjoyed most of them. I find Nancy Mitford a bit wearing all at once. After reading The American Way of Death I want to get a copy of The Loved One, and I really liked Francis Wheen's writing. Um. I spent £45 in Oxfam Books the other day, mostly on a lot of Georgette Heyer books, so that'll be the next couple of months.

Nancy had quite a lot of problems with her sisters in general, even before they started encroaching on "her" turf of writing. I liked TAWOD a lot. The writing sounds exactly like Decca in her letters anyway, though I think she does say in them that Robert wrote TAWOD with her, but the publishers said they only wanted her name on it.
