Miss Buncle's Book by D.E. StevensonMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Barbara Buncle writes a book based on her social circle and wackiness follows.
A delightful little read, sort of if P.G. Wodehouse and Georgette Heyer had a late night cream tea and decided to write something together. The egos of some of the characters who think that the book is about them to start with, and their convoluted reasoning about how they both are and aren't the characters is both amusing and disturbing.
It really underlines the saying 'the meek shall inherit the earth,' because it's always the quite ones.
