Publisher's Synopsis
After World War II, English rose Grace joins her dashing aristocratic husband Charles-Edouard in France. She is out of her depth among the elegant French women and when she discovers her husband's tendency to lust after pretty girls, it seems that all is over - until her son Sigismund steps in. The Blessing is another of Nancy Mitford's witty, irreverent stories of the upper classes, but beneath the glittering surfaces and perfectly timed comic dialogue is a touching hymn to a lost era and to the brevity of life and love.
