The Uninvited Guests in One Sentence.
Have you any interest in reading Sadie Jones’s The Uninvited Guests? Is this interest based on your love of all things British-1912-crumbly-country-estate-plus-a-few-ghosts? Well. I found it disappointing — not terrible, as it DID have the elements I enjoy in an airplane book — but basically I just wanted to tell you the best line, which can be found on the last page. Save yourself the hassle of reading the whole thing and enjoy this:
“The spring morning, a tolerably clean house, fresh clothes, love, and four pounds of bacon were to the Torrington-Swifts and their guests the very pinnacle of bliss.”
There! You can cross this book off your list.

Most definitely the pinnacle of bliss.

Four pounds of bacon! That just seems weird.
