5.0 out of 5 stars
I think this is her best,
By Dave "Dave" (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Before Lunch (Paperback)
I like British county novels from the first half of the 20th century, which is, depending on the author, a pretty guilty pleasure, and Thirkell is among the guiltiest. But sometimes they are the perfect escape from today, and they are comforting: By and large, the decent people wind up doing fine. Yes, they are classist, and all of that, and in so being reflect their culture and time.
However, many of them are just too ridiculous for words, so much so that exasperation overcomes one. But if I had to recommend just one Thirkell to someone, "Before Lunch" would be it. It's the best of Thirkell. |
