That's a nice story, filled with nostalgia that greatly exceeds that of the 60s, and that goes far beyond the English gentry of the time ... For what the narrator takes such pleasure recreate tables successive, small jumps in the past imperfect, is its youth, youth in general, with all the possibilities that seem to offer when you are 20, and an impatient faith and still worried about the future. And every reader probably regain some of it his naivety and lack of insurance, although he did not grow up in this particular environment at that particular time. What is left of our love and our hopes at the dawn of old age? So far from a historical-sociological study, discussed the passing of time here, but the story is never pathetic, quite the contrary: crispy moments of humor come to distance gracefully what could be drowned under regrets. A great success!
