4.0 out of 5 stars
Good old Margo

To me this is the best of the last few books about Barsetshire. Although dealing throughout with the sad themes of death and its aftermath it manages to feel fresher than some of Angela Thirkell's other later books in the series.

Nicely oberved social commentary as usual adds to the enjoyable blend.

Why two stars ? I like Angela Thirkell and I really liked the cover.
