R4 The Cazelets - Confusion

[Dahlialover]

Confusion Indeed. What is this all about? What was all the hype about?

It is just a tedious tale of girlies, who all sound the same, having sex and babies. Boring.

I have no idea who anybody is, or what their relationship to anybody else is, so I don't listen properly.

Repeat, ad nauseam.

Me too.

I did look at the website, but none the wiser........

Samuel Pepys next week - at least I will know who he is!

Pepys is easy enough to follow.
Went out and did something historically important.
Saw a woman I fancied.
Had some trivial but interesting domestic experience.
Saw another woman I fancied.

The Cazalet books are better, but the really good bit is to read Elizabeth Howard's autobiography and realise how close to truth it was ( and its juicy gossip to realise who Michael was, also pretty libellous). But I don't think this book was as good, and it is very chick-lit.

I tried reading the first one and gave up as it was all too melodramatic for my tastes. I've just heard a snippet of this one in the car. Mis. Er. Able.
