The Blessing is one of Nancy Mitfords most personal books, a wickedly funny story that asks whether love can survive the clash of cultures.When Grace Allingham, a nave young Englishwoman, goes to live in France with her dashingly aristocratic husband CharlesEdouard, she finds herself overwhelmed by the bewilderingly foreign cuisine and the shockingly decadent manners and mores of the French. But it is the discovery of her husbands French notion of marriagewhich includes a permanent mistress and a string of casual affairsthat sends Grace packing back to London with their blessing, young Sigismond, in tow.While others urge the couple to reconcile, little Sigiconvinced that it will improve his chances of being spoiledapplies all his juvenile cunning to keeping his parents apart. Drawing on her own years in Paris and her long affair with a Frenchman, Mitford elevates cultural and romantic misunderstandings to the heights of comedy.
