Title: Intense, elegant
Review: Elegantly written reminiscence highlighting intersection of child's adventures and maturation with the network of class, manners, and scheming in upper-class Edwardian manor.Prose is sometimes superb, although sometimes I found it somewhat belabored and wordy: at times the book seemed too introspective, constantly commenting on the tricks of memory rather than just describing the action.I rarely like books in the first-person, as the constant repetition of the first-person-singular pronouns get to be wearing (at least in the third-person, the author can use the character's name). The framing of the book is a little unusual, with a long introduction in the present and then a fairly long and pointless epilogue.As a good companion to this book, I recommend The Perfect Summer: England 1911, Just Before the Storm.
