A visit with old and new friends

Reading my way through the Barsetshire Series for the second time in 5 years. They are as delightful now as they were the first time and thanks to the reprints, much easier to find. This novel shows how the end of the war effected those in Britain, who although were relieved to welcome their loved ones home, had to suffer through rationing for many more years.Thirkell's gentle touch with humor, recurring characters and comfortable setting all make for a wonderful escape. There are no murders or intrigue, no sex, but for me pure entertainment.
