Pomfret Towers
Pomfret Towers: A Virago Modern Classic | Angela Thirkell
Pomfret Towers, Barsetshire seat of the earls of Pomfret, was constructed, with great pomp and want of concern for creature comforts, in the once-fashionable style of Sir Gilbert Scott's St Pancras station. It makes a grand setting for a house party at which gamine Alice Barton and her brother Guy are honoured guests, mixing with the headstrong Rivers family, the tally-ho Wicklows and, most charming of all, Giles Foster, nephew and heir of the present Lord Pomfret. But whose hand will Mr Foster seek in marriage, and who will win Alice's tender heart? Angela Thirkell's classic 1930s comedy is lively, witty and deliciously diverting.

4. Same cover on all books.
5. Lord Of The Rings!

Kalalalatja Haha love your answer on the last one! Thanks for playing along 😄 8y
AlaMich I enjoy Angela Thirkell but I've never done an audio version. Is Pomfret Towers the only one you listen to or are there other audio versions you'd recommend? 8y
Lreads @AlaMich I've also listened to Summer Half and liked it a lot. I find Thirkell's stories comforting. I'm currently trying to choose another of her books to listen to. 8y
