LESSONS IN LOVE A LA FRANCAISE
Lovely young Grace Allingham's marriage to a fabulously wealthy and handsome French aristocrat seemed a glorious dream -- until she began to awaken to the realities of her situation. First she had to deal with her irresistible husband's former mistress. Next with his current lady love. And all the while, Grace had to decide what to do with her own respective lovers. Moving form the enchantment of the French countryside to the enticements of Paris to the heady whirl of the diplomatic world, this is Nancy Mitford's wickedly delightful two-novel triumph about a girl who had something to teach even the French about feminine wiles and romantic intrigue.
What happens when Alfred and Fanny take over an embassy in Paris? Mischief and mayhem, as you can imagine. Heads of state lose their heads, beauties and beatniks invade the premises, rock'n'roll echoes through the marble halls.
