Cozy, English WWII period of time. This was was so funny in places, I just fell out. She is a wonderful writer and has a great sense of humor. Good fun and a great read.
This book actually made me chuckle out loud. I was reading it during lunch in a restaurant but do not think anyone heard me. That Rita and her Housewives Group is just so funny in this book. I can just picture them marching around yelling and causing commotion. The Germans would surely hear them miles away and never be caught. Funny book and a great series. I love it.
