Title: It's biggest delight is a strong sense of place.
Review: London Holiday is a quick and marvelous read because of it's symapthetic characters, strong sense of place, and its subplot of antiquing for classic furniture in New York City,London and St. Louis. Richard Peck is particularly good at combining descriptions of intriguing homes and interiors with portraits of 40- something women at turning points in their lives. I am originally from St.Louis and planning a second trip to London. His strong sense of place - New York,St.Louis, and London- conveyed life in those cities in the late nineties without using tourist stereotypes. A little like "Enchanted April" set in England instead of Italy.
