Loved it! While I am one who is attracted to Brit whit, I must say that I did not find it dry at all. It was fascinating to get what seemed like a very real picture of what it's like to be part of the modern manor-born. It's such an alien story for me, not anything like the life I've lead, but very intriguing to read about. I think of most of the landed gentry as being from a bygone era (except for the queen, prince, and their immediate family). Here we find a 1990s version of what it's like to be part of that world. I'm assuming it's a reasonable depiction, and would highly recommend the book.
