Three Score and Ten: Volume 29 - Angela Thirkell

Descriere Three Score and Ten: Volume 29 - Angela Thirkell

Barsetshire gathers to celebrate a milestone birthday at the Old Bank House in this conclusion to the much-loved, long-running series. \n \nA home is saved from destruction, a budding romance takes steps toward the altar, a doctor experiences the return of a former love--and the fine people of Barsetshire make plans for a festive extravaganza to mark Mrs. Morland's seventieth birthday . . . Triumphantly completed by Angela Thirkell's close friend C. A. Lejeune after Thirkell's death, Three Score and Ten features a host of new and old friends from the author's acclaimed series spanning decades of English country life (The New York Times). \n \nHer writing celebrates the solid parochial English virtues of stiff-upper-lippery, good-sportingness, dislike of fuss, and low-key irony. . . . Light, witty, easygoing books. --The New Yorker \n \nWhere Trollope would have been content to arouse a chuckle, [Thirkell] is constantly provoking us to hilarious laughter. . . . To read her is to get the feeling of knowing Barsetshire folk as well as if one had been born and bred in the county. --Kirkus Reviews
