Barsetshire in the latter years of the Second World War is a peaceful and gossipy place, but there has been one lively change. A girls' school, evacuated from London, has taken over Harefield Park. Miss Sparling seems to be the perfect headmistress: she dresses as a headmistress should and is an easy and erudite conversationalist. Her new neighbours like her and her pupils respect her, but there is something missing from her life; something which - though she never dreamt it when she arrived - perhaps Barsetshire can provide...

@LeahBergen You know how I said I never found many Angela Thirkells in secondhand bookshops? Well, I hit the jackpot in Castlemaine last week! They had about as many more from the 50's but I had to draw the line somewhere😆 I also picked up a few Penelope Lively paperbacks, so I was very happy with my day!

"The pretty and formerly peaceful village of Harefield lies in a valley watered by the upper reaches of the River Rising, under the downs."

It's been fun reading everyone else's first lines!

ShyBookOwl I really like this one! 5y

Enjoying some quiet reading time while waiting on my husband at his dental appointment. In the driver‘s seat of my car is the only other place where I feel less anxious.

My first read of the new year beside my new plant! I‘ve always loved plants but haven‘t been able to have any for a long time because of various reasons. Caring for my new Ivy is something I‘m enjoying. I‘m a longtime fan of Angela Thirkell and have listened to several of her book on audio. The Headmistress is my first print foray.

My weekend book pile for #introverting for #MayBookFlowers. It's a holiday weekend here, so I'm hoping to get a couple of books read during my downtime.
