A delightful slice of English life along the lines of Austen, Trollope, and Dickens. They'd really rather not associate with the oh-so-commoners, but in order to stop wild and unmanageable development in Barsetshire, Lady Bond and Lord Pomfret are willing to do what they must. The young and the not-so-young all fall in love, not always with the right person. By the author of The Brandons.
