Her Royal Spyness

DNF - PG 35

Why?

Because I find Lady Victoria Georgiana Charlotte Eugenie as insufferable as her name. (Yes, well done, you. You boiled water all on your own.)

Because I could have been warned that this is (ostensibly) satire (it says so on the front cover) and I neither enjoy satire or understand it.

Because I didn't realize this was supposed to be ‘funny'. (I don't remember Bowen's other books as being ‘funny' but that was many years ago.)

Because this is, put quite simply, just not the book for me.
