Mixed Marriage

This is the diary of Anne Cunningham Bastos, an English girl who marries into a Portuguese family. It is a record of her engagement, the hectic preparations and family difficulties, the country wedding, and of the early months of her entirely new life as a young wife in Portugal, a life divided between the ranch and the family home in Lisbon.

Her own family and that of her husband, their numerous friends and neighbours appear in these pages, keenly observed in the humorous account of day to day incidents and celebrations.
