This book is charming. It's the story of a young heiress who is impatient to make her debut into society, and her troubles with boys and cars, her sister, her checkbook, the Theatre and German spies. It's like a kinder Gentlemen Prefer Blondes -- both the narrators can't spell and leave a cloud of destruction behind them, against which their charm and joie de vivre glitter even more. Full of period detail and gentle social observation, the book is a slice of upper-class life from the time of our entrance into World War I.
