I met Charlotte in London one afternoon while waiting for a bus. The characters are wonderfully defined and the world and era so utterly tangible you wish you could dive right into it and hang out with them all.Īnd the first thing you would say to any of them is, "This might sound weird but can we be best friends?" One It's about all the things we love – youth, music, Britishness, the 1950s, eccentric upper classes, beauty and love. I immediately said, "Yes, that does sound weird but that's why I now concur that we should indeed be best friends."įor it's exactly the kind of thing I could equally splurge and would have said to her if I had read this book before meeting her.īecause, like Eva, this book is very funny, feminine, clever, intriguing, life-affirming and gently eccentric. I met our delightful authoress Eva Rice through a mutual friend and the first thing she said to me was, "This might sound weird but I feel I know you and we really should be best friends."
