Bartsetshire during wartime finds Mr. Downing, Miss Pemberton, and Mrs. Turner engaged in a love triangle; a chorus of officers raucously quartered at the rectory; and village ladies with violent leanings. In Mrs. Major Spender, Thirkell offers a devastating sketch of the good-natured egoist, and readers will be pleased that the less-than-articulate Betty finds a soulmate in Captain Copham. -- From Amazon.com Product Description
