Up next: this 1932 novel about a seventeen-year-old girl, Olivia, who is invited to her first dance.
I‘m looking forward to trying my first Rosamond Lehmann!

After the backlisted ep on the sequel 'the weather on the streets ' I decided to read this 1st. The story of 17 yr old Olivia going to her 1st dance with sister Kate is in two halfs. On her birthday, the anticipation of the dance + family life is evoked so well, but the description of the dance is memorable.The writing describes diverse characters, snobbery, class, + the thrill of youth. Excellent bk, looking fwd to what happens next to Olivia
The waltz is usually a #SlowDance.
I‘ve read a couple of Lehman books, including this one, and they are beautifully written.
