Book Overview
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 home front. 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.

Reading my way through the Barsetshire Series for the second time in 5 years. They are as delightful now as they were the first time and thanks to the reprints, much easier to find. This novel shows how the end of the war effected those in Britain, who although were relieved to welcome their loved ones home, had to suffer through rationing for many more years.Thirkell's gentle touch with humor, recurring characters and comfortable setting all make for a wonderful escape. There are no murders or intrigue, no sex, but for me pure entertainment.
