Short, and precisely written, this adorable and funny novel is about what happens when Queen Elizabeth (the current one) takes up reading. So much royal charm that reminds one of the film
The Queen. For more Bennett fun, see also
The Clothes They Stood Up In. This story of a couple whose belongings are stolen while they are at the opera is told in incredibly clean, concise prose. Deadpan and amusing, but also quite thought-provoking.
