Another charming novel set mostly in rural England, ca. 1930's. Jane and Prudence became friends at Oxford, despite a difference of about 10 years in their ages, and have kept up their firendship through the years. Now Jane has just settled into a new parish with her husband Nicholas while Prudence, still attractive but pushing thirty, wonders if she will ever find true love. The novel centers around Jane--her difficulty fitting in to the new town, her efforts at matchmaking for Prudence, her reminiscences of working on the seventeenth-century poets at Oxford, etc. She is quite the character--bright and independent-minded, a modern woman but concerned that she isn't fitting properly into the role of a vicar's wife. Several characters from Crampton Hodnet reappear, including the domineering Miss Doggett and her delighfully understated but sly companion, Miss Jessie Morrow.
