The Duchess of Bloomsbury Street

Reading this book makes me feel optimistic, especially when I'm reading it at a sunny table outside a cafe on a lovely lazy day. Add this book to my list of “10 books I'd want want with me if I was marooned on a desert island.” Although in all fairness it should be allowed to share its slot with “84, Charing Cross Road” since they really do make up two halves of a whole. (Also I'm greedy.)
