While I liked this one, I have to say that I enjoyed The Pursuit of Love much more. The wit is still there, of course, and I love Nancy's telling, through the voice of Fanny, how dull high society really is. But Polly rather annoyed me and I wanted more of the Radlett girls. Davey is hilarious, and it's interesting how his little food fads still seem relevant today. We all know someone like that, don't we?

My four stars is for The Pursuit of Love and Love in a Cold Climate, which were funny and enjoyable. The Blessing, however, is a solid three stars as it's at its heart a love letter to France, and that's not as interesting to me as very posh English people being idiots. And no Uncle Matthew, who's one of those characters who's absolutely wonderful in a book but I would run a mile from in reality.
