Don't Tell Alfred

Radlett and Montdore series

Fanny is married to bumbling, absent-minded Oxford don, Alfred. Fanny's life changes overnight when Alfred is appointed English Ambassador to Paris. Suddenly she is mixing with royalty and Rothschilds, hosting cocktail parties and having details of her every move and outfit printed in the papers. All she needs now is a diplomatic crisis.
