Dorothy Whipple love

I must read everything she has ever written. Someone at a Distance was really enjoyable. It was funny and light and the characters, though over the top sometimes, where believable. I even liked the lame-ish happy ending, because it was not entirely too happy. The list of her books is from Wikipedia. The picture, from Persephone Books.
