As the City stifles under the August heat wave, temptation begins to ensnare the inhabitants of 5 Caper Court. The question is, who will fall captive to its charms and who will be able to resist? This description may be from another edition of this product.
Caro Fraser, the daughter of George MacDonald Fraser (Flashman!) spins a good yarn about not much at all. She never reverts to describing the details of attire and furnishings in apalling name-brand detail, but her prose is clean, her story linear, and her style unaffected. Any one of her books beats watching television. It's like pulling back into a cocoon of well-behaved people having dramatic moments gracefully. If you like reading W, or Harper's Bazaar, or shopping at Saks (not Barney's) and you're having a tough week, read one of Caro Fraser's books and everyday life will sort itself out in the meantime.
