2020 book 56

Michelle Cooper's The FitzOsbornes in Exile
The second Montmaray book finds our family, as the title, says, adjusting to life in exile. Of course this mainly involves mingling with the highest echelons of British Society (lots of gossip about the Mitfords and appearances from the Kennedys). But war is creeping in. I swear this book is tailored to my particular interests, from the aforementioned Mitfords to the lengthy discussion of Picasso's Guernica. And I love the voice of a young girl coming into her own. Great stuff.
