About this book

Angela Thirkell's first novel in the Barsetshire series. Here we are introduced to Laura Morland, her publisher and friends in High and Low Rising. Between the wars in England we have middle class romance, a happy widow, high and low aspirations, and servants and children who are quite "killingly" funny.
