In “The Charm School” by Alice Duer Miller, the reader is taken on a witty and satirical journey through the world of etiquette and social hierarchy in early 20th century America. Written in a charming and light-hearted style, the novel delves into the lives of various characters as they navigate the expectations and restrictions of their society. Miller's use of humor and keen observation of human behavior set this book apart as a delightful commentary on the importance of charm and manners. The book's setting and themes make it a valuable contribution to the literature of manners and social satire of its time. Alice Duer Miller, a renowned poet and novelist, brings her keen insight and clever wit to the pages of this entertaining novel. Drawing from her own experiences in high society, Miller brings authenticity and depth to her portrayal of the characters and their interactions. Her sharp wit and keen observations make for a compelling and enjoyable read. I highly recommend “The Charm School” to readers who enjoy witty social commentary and engaging storytelling.
