Review

"Delightfully gay, charming, humorous."

"Jane Austen is the reassuring model here....Thirkell's material is the doings of a few country families....Her pleasure is in the ordinary, the everyday, and the recurrent."

Publisher's note

Even drama settles into circumstance, as the denizens of Barsetshire have learned through the private and public worries the Second World War has delivered to the homefront. When peace breaks out, it surprises and unsettles familiar wartime routines, and the residents of Angela Thirkell's fictional world of town and country seem nearly as disconcerted as they are overjoyed. Nevertheless, as the county's eligible young men return home, the social round regains its old momentum. Before long, everyone - especially Anne Fielding, now quite grown up at nineteen - is spinning in a sweet flurry of misunderstandings and engagements.

Annotation

A comic novel of manners, set in the fictitious region of Barsetshire, England. It describes the havoc that attends upon the end of the war and the return of routine life--and able-bodied men--to Barsetshire in 1946. Centering on the experiences of the Halliday family, the novel offers a satire of English country life during the transitional years of the late 1940s.
