Summary
Edgewood Rectory may be set in an ancient landscape, but the Grantly family are very much of their time. Caught up in the uncertain world that has emerged since the outbreak of peace, the Rector and Mrs Grantly are bewildered by the challenges facing their eldest children: Eleanor, longing for more excitement than can be found in the Red Cross Library; and Tom, struggling to readjust to student life at Oxford after his military service.
When their elderly neighbour Miss Sowerby sells her beloved Old Bank House to self-made MP Sam Adams, the one-time outsider finds himself at the heart of Barsetshire society. And while Sam may dismiss her advice that the house needs a mistress, even a contented widower can be surprised by love.

Bring back Jilly Bond!
This is typical Angela Thirkell, but if you want to pick up the humour in the book you'll have to read it for yourself. This narration is awkward and frequently destroys the sense with mispronunciation and incorrect emphases. The reader may have read the book before making the recording, but she clearly didn't understand it.
