In Close Quarters, Angela Thirkell continues her Barsetshire series, transporting readers to postwar England as Margot Phelps (Mrs. Macfadyen) faces both sorrow and renewal. Thirkell’s characteristic blend of humor, social insight, and a classic British setting adds depth to Margot’s journey.

Observing the shifting rural landscape, Thirkell paints Margot’s emotional arc with both melancholy and quiet optimism, crafting a gentle, reflective installment in the series. [Adapted from the dust jacket]
