## Description

Barsetshire in the latter years of the Second World War is a peaceful and gossipy place, but there has been one lively change. A girls' school, evacuated from London, has taken over Harefield Park. Miss Sparling seems to be the perfect headmistress: she dresses as a headmistress should and is an easy and erudite conversationalist. Her new neighbours like her and her pupils respect her, but there is something missing from her life; something which - though she never dreamt it when she arrived - perhaps Barsetshire can provide...

Review: I love this book - I love this book. Angela Thirkell is one of my favorite authors. I also love Elizabeth Cadell, whose books are being republished on kindle now. I also love D E Stevenson and I am hoping they will continue to republish her books on kindle.
Review: Pretty good Thirkell - This one has the usual cast of characters and circumstances, but her war years novels seem a bit more realistic. She isn’t for everyone, but I enjoy most of her novels.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty good Thirkell
*by J***N on November 5, 2022*

This one has the usual cast of characters and circumstances, but her war years novels seem a bit more realistic. She isn’t for everyone, but I enjoy most of her novels.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect again.
*by M***N on January 21, 2020*

Nothing like a novel by Thirkell to cheer the day. Funny, romantic, and historically interesting for a fresh look at WW2 on the English homefront.
