The Brandons: A Virago Modern Classic | Angela Thirkell

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

kwmg40 I love the covers of these VMC editions of Thirkell's books! 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

The Brandons: A Virago Modern Classic | Angela Thirkell

This book wasn't in the database, but I have a bookish question about the series. Do I need to read all of Trollope's Barsetshire novels before I read anymore Thirkell's. Or are they both stand alone series?

StaceyKondla I can't answer that question, but that is a great old cover! 7y
