Idioma/Language: Español. Laura Morland, una exitosa escritora de «buenos malos libros», se dispone a pasar unas semanas de feliz reposo en su casa de campo en el pueblecito de High Rising. Una vez allí, sin embargo, se ve envuelta en una maraña de pequeñas intrigas provincianas que exigirán toda su atención. Por un lado, tratará de impedir que su acaudalado amigo y vecino George Knox sucumba a los encantos de Miss Grey, una secretaria cazafortunas. Por el otro, hará lo posible por emparejar a su editor londinense ?que dista mucho de ser un donjuán? con Miss Sybil, la dulce e ingenua hija de Knox. Todo ello mientras a su alrededor pulula, y a menudo estorba, un elenco de personajes tan exasperantes como divertidos, entre los que destacan su hijo Toby, un chiquillo resabiado y experto en asuntos ferroviarios, y Stoker, la entrometida ama de llaves. ¿Conseguirá Laura devolver la paz a High Rising y, de paso, a sí misma? Bienvenidos a High Rising, la primera entrega de una saga ambientada en el condado ficticio de Barbetshire, es una inmejorable puerta de acceso a la literatura de Angela Thirkell. Gracias a su talento satírico y a una prodigiosa habilidad para tejer y destejer tramas sentimentales, Thirkell es una de las mejores cronistas de la vida de las clases acomodadas y los pequeños terratenientes de la campiña inglesa. La crítica ha dicho. . . «Una comedia deliciosa, suavemente irónica y solemnemente absurda» The Times «Encantadora y tremendamente divertida. Angela Thirkell se parece a Barbara Pym más que cualquier otro autor del siglo xx, después de la propia Pym. » Alexander McCall Smith *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
