Review: An entertaining romp

I read the first couple of pages and then flew through the book. The characters were entertains cliches. The arrogant husband, silly widget wife, French chef, Italian soprano, dirty dish family member, nosy gossip and Lady Hathaway. The dialogue was entertaining and believable with humor and warmth. Brunch did not become an excepted word until the late 19th century. I learned that honey was a term of endearment starting in the 14th century. Kindle dictionary, the Internet and a good search engine make reading very enjoyable. Joan Smith delivers another pleasant escape.
