Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 26
Raised in Marrakech by a French mother and English father, a 17-year-old girl has learned above all to avoid mauvais ton ("bad taste" loses something in the translation). One should not ask servants to wait on one during Ramadan: they must have paid leave while one spends the holy month abroad. One must play the piano; if staying at Claridge’s, one must regrettably install a Clavinova in the suite so that the necessary hours of practice will not be inflicted on fellow guests.

Bad taste is no way to live your life.

The slow burn of this short book made me read it again. A 17-year-old supposed girl who comes across as “cold” to her editor with bad taste is a hero to me and role model to friends with whom I’ve spleen to about this gem!
