A witty classic from the author of the Diary of a Provincial Lady. This can be enjoyed both as a satirical commentary on Edwardian Society and as a delightful coming-of-age tale.

We meet Monica, a young girl about to be launched into society, with the one aim of finding a suitable husband. Not just anyone, but a man who in her mother’s words should be “quite - quite”. Written with a knowing wink and a bittersweet wit, we follow the naïve Monica as she experiences high hopes and youthful yearnings to find life turning out not quite as she expected.
