English comedy of manners with time travel. Fans of Victorian England, Jeeves/Wooster, time travel should pick this up. Very light-hearted book.

Thanks for the recommend - I am in profound need of something light hearted.
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Just finished -- thanks for the recommend, very much enjoyed the silliness. Got anything else truly silly to recommend? I have to fly to DC on Wednesday.
