Couldn't put it down! - By: Dog lover, 07 Nov 2008
This is an amazing book & I just couldn't put it down. Mary Gilliatt, the interior designer, is just so funny as she recounts stories about her friends who used to come to dinner. And we're not just talking any friends but the likes of Princess Margaret, Spike Milligan & even Margot Fonteyn. I loved the story about the woman who couldn't decide what to wear & quickly jumped into a taxi when her husband, the playwright, Sean O'Casey, got impatient with her - only to realise when she got to the dinner party that she wasn't wearing a dress under her coat! You'll laugh out loud, I know I did! I'm buying a copy for my mum & one of my friends as it's the best book I've read for ages - & I read about 4 books a week.
