- Synopsis
- Charming, very funny indeed. Angela Thirkell is perhaps the most Pym-like of any twentieth-century author, after Pym herself.' Alexander McCall Smith Pomfret Towers, Barsetshire seat of the earls of Pomfret, was constructed, with great pomp and want of concern for comfort, in the once-fashionable style of Sir Gilbert Scott's St Pancras station. It makes a grand setting for a house party at which gamine Alice Barton and her brother Guy are honoured guests, mixing with the headstrong Rivers family, the tally-ho Wicklows and, most charming of all, Giles Foster, nephew and heir of the present Lord Pomfret. But of all the beautiful young things, whose hand will Mr Foster seek in marriage, and who will win Alice's tender heart? Angela Thirkell's classic 1930s comedy is lively, witty and deliciously diverting. 'A terrific holiday story' The Lady, praise for High Rising
