Title: A terrible disappointment
Product review: If you loved "Love in a Cold Climate" and "The Pursuit of Love", for heaven's sake DON'T read this terrible Nancy Mitford clunker."Don't Tell Alfred" picks up on Fanny's (ie The Bolter's Daughter) life in the late fifties/early sixties. Except for a brief appearance by Uncle Matthew, who has given up his entrenching tool in favour of a cocktail glass (!!!), none of the other characters from Ms. Mitford's earlier works appear here.Rather, the novel is populated by pop stars, dull diplomats and something called "Teddy boys". These uncompelling characters are further handicapped by tedious dialogue and an utterly boring plot.Completely lacking the charm and wit of "The Pursuit of Love" and "Love in a Cold Climate", this novel disappoints as much as the others delight.Sorry, Amazon, this book is No Sale.
