A continuation of Thirkell's modern Barsetshire chronicles. The old bank house is a large and beautiful dwelling belonging to Miss Sowerby, the last of the Barsetshire line, finally decides to sell her house to the leery Mr. Sam Adams. I must tell you about the house, Mr. Adams... It likes a mistress.
This book begins the romantic relationship between Mr. Adams and Lucy Marling -- who is one of my favorite Thirkell heroines. Their wooing is far from a "candlelight and violins" situation. The book is very entertaining, and bound to be a favorite of Thirkell fans.
