by Julia Strachey ‧ RELEASE DATE: Feb. 20, 1933
A delicious brief tale of a distracted household on the day of a wedding, in which nobody but the mother is particularly interested. Amusing, fragile, satirical, searching, this is a more than promising first book by the niece of Lytton Strachey. It is not necessarily as significant as the English reviewers would indicate, but it is refreshing, and has a faint suggestion of a Saki influence in its flavor.
