It’s interesting how diverse people’s views on literature can be.
Here’s another viewpoint from a member of the Ventnor Reading Group on The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets by Eva Rice’s.
Absolutely dire – why are we reading such nonsense?
Trivial – it was supposed to have the charm of a Dodie Smith but I’m afraid I couldn’t see it.
I wonder if it reflects the author’s “class” if not her time? I suspect that she was published because of who she is – Tim Rice’s daughter.
If you don’t take it seriously it is quite a pleasant read, and I remember Johnny Ray although not those life and times!
Is this chicklit?
I gave up at page 152 – empty headed.
