High Rising Book

The unmarried Anne Todd, a wonderful secretary as well as a devoted bedside nurse to her decrepit mother, is an archetypal Thirkell heroine: plucky, determined, resourceful, but acutely aware that being safely married would be a better alternative. The current resurgence of interest of Thirkell, several of whose 40-odd novels of life in imaginary "Barsetshire" before World War II are being reissued, has awakened a nostalgia for the sharp glittering surfaces of her work. High Rising is Thirkell at her warm, easygoing best.Read More

  • Product Description

    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.
