Description

Summer in Barsetshire brings new challenges to peacetime. Beliers Priory, once a military hospital during the war, is now a thriving preparatory school for boys. When Charles Belton joins as the new school master, six young people are brought together in a complex web of relationships and misunderstandings. Charles's brother, Naval Captain Freddy Belton, navigates his own romantic entanglements alongside Susan Dean, now working at the Red Cross Depot, and her glamorous sister Jessica, an actress. Meanwhile, Lucy Marling and her brother Oliver find themselves caught up in the drama. As the old social order crumbles, a delicious summer of comic possibilities unfolds. Angela Thirkell's 17th novel is a witty and poignant exploration of love, relationships, and the challenges of peacetime.
