Description

Angela Thirkell's "Growing Up" is a charming novel that explores life in wartime Barsetshire. Belier's Priory, once a grand house, has been transformed into a hospital for wounded soldiers, and the Waring family has moved to the servants' quarters. When their niece Leslie arrives to recuperate from her own war-related stress, she brings with her an intelligence officer and his wife who will prove to be a welcome tonic. As the Priory becomes a hub of activity, the Waring residence is filled with the sounds of soldiers and the hum of wartime life. The arrival of Noel and Lydia Merton adds a new dynamic to the household, bringing much-needed energy and companionship. With its warm and witty tone, "Growing Up" offers a unique glimpse into life during this tumultuous period. This novel is a heartwarming exploration of family, friendship, and resilience in the face of adversity.
