Coronet in the Weeds

At age 20 Charlotte Bingham decided to write the first installment of her autobiography Coronet Among the Weeds and it was published in 1963 (perhaps because of her father and mother's influence) whereupon it became quite a sensation. Really. In Britain. Maybe because the family was titled. And that pretty much descibes the sentence structure for the entire book. Easily read in a few hours with the delivery of a stand-up comic monologue. Humorous in parts, but also requires Brit-speak or a long acquaintance with BBC broadcasts.
