Slacks for Ella Funt

This was one of the most fun books I’ve read in a long time. It’s set in 1950s London, and full of stately old manor houses, fashionable parties, giddy dresses, and rock and roll dreams. It has some of the wistfulness of I Capture the Castle, mixed with the madcap fun of P. G. Wodehouse. This is what chick-lit should be. I enjoyed every minute of it.
