Oh, I love that book and its sequel, The Duchess of Bloomsbury Street. I first read them in a dusty double-title paperback of my mother's with her maiden name written in the front, and so they are always entwined with thoughts of her. I also remember being struck especially by the difficulties of rationing in the post-war period in the UK... and of course by all of the love of books!
