Required reading for romantics and writers!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Jutland Cottage (Angela Thirkell Barsetshire Series) (Paperback)
This is part of the Barsetshire series. Back cover: "having arrived at forty without finding a husband, Margot Phelps wasn't about to compromise. She could have been attractive if she had taken the slightest trouble, but she appeared uninterested. Then the indomitable ladies of Barseshire--and especially the beautiful, bewildering Rose Fairweather--decide to take matters in hand." Cinderella with more than one charming prince!Great fireside novel. Excellent story.

You have to love Thirkell.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Jutland Cottage (Angela Thirkell Barsetshire Series) (Paperback)
Plot relies heavily on "belts" (girdles) and face cream, but the silly girl lets her man win, in the end.
