It's August in the Barsetshire village of Worsted, and Richard Tebben, just down from Oxford, is contemplating the gloomy prospect of a long summer in the parental home. But the numerous and impossibly glamorous Dean family - exquisite Rachel, her capable husband and six of their nine brilliant children - have come for the holidays, and their hostess, Mrs. Palmer, plans to rope everyone into performing in her disastrous annual play.

Surrounded by the irrepressible Deans, Richard and his sister, Margaret, cannot help but have their minds broadened, spirits raised and hearts smitten.

The reader was magnificent. She perfectly delivers numerous voices connecting the listener to the characters. The story is brilliant and humorous.

Excellent story and superbly narrated.

I usually prefer reading to listening, but this rendition is superbly done and enhances Thirkell’s story. I wish Audible had the whole sequence instead of a handful of the early books!

Excellent reader for this early-ish Thirkell
