Don't Tell Alfred
Nancy Mitford Audio Book

Fanny, who is married to the bumbling, absent-minded Oxford don Alfred, is content with her role as a plain, tweedy housewife. But her life changes overnight when Alfred is appointed English Ambassador to Paris.

Suddenly she is mixing with royalty, Rothschilds and Dior-clad wives, giving cocktail parties and having her every move and outfit printed in the papers the next day. And, as well as her new found fame, she also has to deal with organising her friends’ love lives and keeping track of her maverick sons. And with a diplomatic crisis on the horizon, Embassy life in Parisian high society is certainly never dull.
