Brandons: A Virago Modern Classic
Brandons: A Virago Modern Classic | Angela Thirkell
3 posts | 5 read | 5 to read
Lavinia Brandon is quite the loveliest widow in Barsetshire, blessed with beauty and grace, as well as two handsome grown-up children, Delia and Francis. So thinks their cousin Hilary Grant when he comes to stay and - like many before him - promptly falls for his fragrant hostess. Meanwhile, the Brandons' ill-tempered dowager aunt is stirring up controversy over her legacy, and Lavinia's attention is further occupied by the challenges of making a match between the vicar and gifted village helpmeet Miss Morris, and elegantly deterring her love-struck suitors. Angela Thirkell's 1930s comedy is bright, witty and winning.

5⭐️ I found this to be the perfect summer read. Wonderfully paired with summer berries, laying under a ceiling fan escaping to Barsetshire on a humid July day. I count myself amongst Mrs. Brandon‘s admirers now.

catebutler Thirkell is a favourite of mine. And these editions are so dreamy! ✨ 4y
Jess_Read_This @catebutler Confession time: I think I‘ve got the rest of the Virago editions of her books on the way.... save for the three coming out in August that may have also been preordered. 💸 I really enjoyed this one and am thinking of starting Summer Half next! Do you have a favorite? 4y
Cathythoughts I did order this ! So excited to get it ... ✨ 4y

☕️”Peace being restored over the coffee, Mrs Brandon ate her own breakfast and read her letters.”

I made the mistake of reading the news and checking in on Twitter this morning. This sentence spoke to me as I realized, I too, am finding a bit of peace in my morning coffee and book. Along with a giant raspberry pastry.

💐Hoping you find your bit of peace today.💐

Jess_Read_This @AlaMich Isn‘t that the truth. 😕 Reading truly is my escape. 4y
Jess_Read_This @BookNAround I‘m finding her to be a comforting read in this one! I haven‘t read all her books, just a few. But I seem to always buy them when I see them! 4y

CarolynM Love Angela Thirkell ❤️ This is a good one! 4y
Cathythoughts Sounds great , I‘m stacking I just wish a raspberry pastry came with it 😁 4y
Jess_Read_This @CarolynM I am really enjoying this! I‘m not too far into it but have already laughed at loud once or twice! 4y
Jess_Read_This @kwmg40 VMC makes such pretty books. I agree- their covers of hers are gorgeous! To be honest, the cover drew me into buying my first one. Now I‘m hooked. 4y
Jess_Read_This @Cathythoughts This one is really good so far! It‘s a nice summer read. I wish I had bought a few more pastries. One for you and one for me this morning! 4y
