âI have told Rose that there will be a chauffeur for dinner,â she ended, frowning slightly at the cannibalistic sound of her sentence.
Unmarried and nicknamed âButtonâ by her friends, Mary Morrison is a (very mildly) distressed gentlewoman. She no longer lives in her family home, but remains at the very centre of village life, surrounded by friends including carefree, irresponsible Catha, Lady Rollo, just back from India and setting up lavish housekeeping nearby with her husband and childrenâsocialist Tony, perfect Crispin, and Elizabeth whoâs preparing to be presented at Court. Then thereâs Marcelle, Maryâs widowed sister-in-law, and her challenging daughter Rosemary, who may soon be planting themselves with her to escape London bombs, Miss Rosanna Masquerier, a historical novelist who might just be a wry self-portrait of the author, and an array of other Sirs and Ladies who rely on Maryâs sympathy and practicality. And perhaps thereâs just a hint of romance as well . . .
Known for her bestselling historical fiction, in Nothing to Report Carola Oman delightfully evokes E.M. Delafieldâs Provincial Lady in her portrayal of an English village cheerfully, hilariously, and sometimes bumpily progressing from obliviousness to the warâs approach to pulling together for king and country. Dean Street Press and Furrowed Middlebrow have also reprinted Omanâs Somewhere in England, a sequel to Nothing to Report.
