The main characters are a young couple, Diana and Julian, who are newly married and hoping to enjoy a romantic getaway. However, they soon find themselves caught up in the drama and intrigue of their fellow guests. The novel explores themes of love, marriage, class, and social status. It also delves into the complexities of human relationships and the lengths people will go to in order to maintain their position in society. Through the interactions and conversations of the characters, the author provides a commentary on the values and attitudes of the time period. The Happiest Time Of Their Lives is a well-written and engaging novel that offers a glimpse into the lives of the wealthy elite during the Roaring Twenties. It is a timeless story that still resonates with readers today, as it explores universal themes that are relevant in any era.In the hall he had shaken hands with Mr. Lanley and had kissed Mathilde, who, do what she would, couldn't help choking a little. All this time Adelaide stood on the stairs, very erect, with one hand on the stair-rail and one on the wall, not only her eyes, but her whole face, radiating an uplifted peace. So angelic and majestic did she seem that Mathilde, looking up at her, would hardly have been surprised if she had floated out into space from her vantage-ground on the staircase.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
