Q pointed out Spanish Civil War parallels it with Any Human Heart, but that's in a completely superior category - the protagonist of this story is rather annoying and feeble - James' performance doesn't help. Did like the joke though about the basis on which she selected the cabins - 'Anyone with Labrador next to their name I put in one of the best rooms'. Turns out 'labrador' is Spanish for labourer.
Dominic West's character is too one-note, really. Enjoyed many of the performances but this isn't much of a story (Nancy Mitford) and it's not particularly well told, and the use of contemporary music tracks from all over the place didn't work for me.
