Could be read all the way there and back

Advantages: Bit of a ripping yarn
Disadvantages: Way too long

Very much in the style of "Country Manors", it didn't disappoint me; several times I was caught giggling out loud at parts of it.

It then takes off to the Cote d'Azur, with evocative descriptions of Nice and the surrounding area and in particular the village where the heroine ends up living for a while.
