I was absolutely charmed by Cluny Brown.  Reading it for the first time was a delightful experience.  A newfound favorite!

Cluny Brown is so delightful. The character is enormously appealing, and the story is well told and enchanting. I'd read it before, remembered it with fondness, and was afraid it wouldn't live up to my memories - but it did. Margery Sharp is a great writer.

Cluny Brown, a girl who 'doesn't know her place', according to her uncle the plumber and various others, goes into service in the country and finally finds her place, although not the one her relatives expected her to find.

3,5/5
Una lectura ligera y muy entretenida con un par de sorpresas, que no por verse venir, se disfrutan menos.
Es el típico libro inglés que dice más de lo que parece en un primer momento, pero sea como sea, representa un lugar feliz en el que estar durante unas horas, sin preocupaciones de ningún tipo.
Es cierto que quizás esperaba un poquito más, o puede que sea que ya he leído muchos libros similares, pero aún así, he disfrutado de la historia y especialmente de la inolvidable Cluny.
Recomendable para que el que busque un libro ingenioso y ligero con una protagonista muy especial.
