Description
Book Synopsis
From a starry-eyed teenager to an elderly clergyman, it seems no one is immune to romance in the county of Barsetshire . . .In the long-running and beloved series that brings Anthony Trollope's Barsetshire into the mid-twentieth century and offers "a fresh, original, witty interpretation of England's social history," the quirky inhabitants and well-bred families of the county find themselves navigating the delights and uncertainties of love (The New York Times). Lady Gwendolyn Harcourt, no spring chicken, is courted by the aging Reverend Oriel of Harefield. And on the other end of the generational spectrum, fresh-faced sixteen-year-old Lavinia Merton may have a future marriage prospect in her singing partner Ludovic, Lord Mellings . . .
"Thirkell's gently meandering account of the diversions of Barsetshire society leaves nothing to be desired." --New York Herald Tribune
"To read [Thirkell] is to get the feeling of knowing Barsetshire folk as well as if one had been born and bred in the county." --Kirkus Reviews
About the Author
Angela Thirkell (1890-1961) was a British author whose ability to produce one book a year, every year, and set in that year blurred the lines between novelist and social historian. Like so many of the writers that she admired--Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, George Eliot--Thirkell shared their X-ray vision: an unmatched ability to assess the hypocrisies, desires, and prejudices of her characters and, better still, play them for laughs. Her biggest literary project, the Barsetshire Chronicles, consists of twenty-nine novels, each acting as another slice of English country life; a utopian vision of bucolic countryside, grand manors, and village fêtes.Dimensions (Overall): 8.0 Inches (H) x 5.25 Inches (W) x .81 Inches (D)
