  • "The characters are Mrs Brandon, an attractive widow, her grown son and daughter, a wealthy, disagreeable spinster relative, the vicar and the many men devoted to Mrs Brandon."@en
  • "The Brandons cheerfully confront matters of love, money, and an ill-tempered dowager aunt Lavinia Brandon is quite the loveliest widow in Barsetshire, blessed with beauty and grace, as well as two handsome grown-up children, Delia and Francis. So thinks their cousin Hilary Grant when he comes to stay and--like many before him--promptly falls for his fragrant hostess. Meanwhile, the Brandons' ill-tempered dowager aunt is stirring up controversy over her legacy, and Lavinia's attention is further occupied by the challenges of making a match between the vicar and gifted village helpmeet Miss Morris, and elegantly deterring her love-struck suitors."@en
  • "Another of Angela Thirkell's classic satires on English country life in the 1930s, set in Barsetshire. Mrs Brandon, an attractive widow, finds herself at the centre of a convoluted set of relationships that seem to stem from her rich Aunt Sissie's sudden illness. Aunt Sissie lives in a mouldering pile and keeps threatening to will it all away from various relatives, if only to keep them on their toes. But at least two of these relatives would welcome the money but not the house. And Aunt Sissie's companion Miss Morris finds herself faced with the Vicar, with whom she shares an unhappy past. However, all comes right in the end, having all the satisfaction of a nice twisting plot."@en
