Have you read ... The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets?

    Eva Rice's novel The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets was a big hit when it first came out a few years ago. Set in 1950s England and featuring a young girl and her eccentric family, it drew comparisons with Nancy Mitford and Dodie Smith, reviews constantly referring to it as "charming" and "enchanting".

    I've had the book on my wish list all this time and have still not got a copy, but it came to mind today when I saw this short interview with Eva Rice in which she's talking about her next novel - a sort of sequel to The Lost Art ... - The Misinterpretation of Tara Jupp which is due out in January.

    So, have you read The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets? Does it indeed appeal to fans of I Capture The Castle and The Pursuit of Love? Do men tend to like it or is it very much a girls' book?
