Jam and Idleness 
What did you think of _The Rude Story of English_? I got it for Christmas, but I haven’t had time to read it yet.
I enjoyed it! I’m hoping to find the time to write a little about it…
I have always enjoyed Molly Keane books, not much read by my fellow Americans I’m afraid…
It’s true, you’re only the second person I’ve “met” who’s read her–the other one is Canadian, and he introduced me to her stuff. Maybe I’ll read another of her novels next…
I guess the life of the Irish-Anglo aristocracy in the 30’s isn’t high on most people’s lists, lol! But I fondly remember enjoying her prose, and you have reminded me to read her novels again.
This conversation inspired me to read another Keane…just finished Devoted Ladies. She was bonkers, in all the ways I enjoy most. đŸ™‚ I’m glad there are many more of her novels left for me to read.
