<p>In this lively social satire, Thirkell's quintessential British humor captures the foibles and worth of gentry and villager alike. Lovely, vague, and widowed, Mrs. Morland writes rather sensational novels to support herself and her infuriating son. Around her the village of High Rising, located in Trollope's imaginary county of Barsetshire, runs amok.</p>

The village of Worsted is staging Hippolytus under the aegis of the indefatigable Mrs. Palmer. Given this background, it seems inevitable that the most absurd romances should bloom, as indeed they do. Thirkell's novels provide a scrutiny of British manners in the most entertaining doses.

There are problems of black-outs, staffing a military hospital, stretching food supplies and - with the arrival of some extraordinary refugees - attempting to keep peace in the rural heartland. Despite everything, life - and love - continue in their own sweet way...
