I'm going to preface this review by saying that I didn't make it through the whole thing. I made it about a fourth of the way before I gave up.
These are the letters a mother sent her son while they were separated by WWII and beyond. Mom was a prolific writer and added a lot of details to her correspondence.
I did enjoy the writing style of Lady Diana. It was just the repetitive nature of the letters in general that wore me down. The son warned me ahead of time there were a lot of people mentioned, but it got to be a bit much for me. Dinner with this person, dinner with that person, etc.
I don't think this was a bad book, I just think the style of it wasn't for me. The letters themselves, while written with wit and intelligence, were just not something I wanted to keep reading.
