Title: Light and sparkling
Review: In The Semi-attached Couple, a very young Lady Helen marries handsome, rich Lord Teviot. She loves, but does not comprehend him; he loves, but does not comprehend her; a series of misunderstandings and jealousies threaten their happiness.The Semi-Detached House follows the lives and loves of two families living side by side in (you guessed it) a semi-detached house. Young, lively Lady Blanche moves into the house to await her confinement, while her beloved husband is abroad on a diplomatic mission. She dreads meeting the family next door, whom she imagines will be low and vulgar; but she is soon enchanted by the Hopkinsons, a family which includes two pleasing daughters near her own age, and strikes up a warm friendship with them.These two short novels display a charming and witty style which has something of the flavor of Jane Austen, though falling short of Austen's works in plotting and characterization. Fun reading for any Austen fan.
