Eight officers of the Barsetshire Regiment have been billeted at the rectory, and Mrs Villars, the Rector's wife, is finding the attentions of Lieutenant Holden (who doesn't seem to mind that she is married to his host) quite exhausting. The middle-aged ladies and gentlemen who undertake roof-spotting from the church tower are more concerned with their own lives than with any possible parachutist raids. There is the love triangle of Mr Downing, his redoubtable hostess Miss Pemberton and the hospitable Mrs Turner at the Hollies. And, to add to Mrs Villar's woes, egocentric, imperious Mrs Spender, the Major's wife, is foisted on the rectory when she is bombed out of her London home. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFirst published in 1941, \u003ci\u003eNorthbridge Rectory\u003c\/i\u003e is a captivating comedy of an English village in the War years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Virago Press (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/28\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780349007427\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 1.30d","brand":"Angela Thirkell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52147040157877,"sku":"9780349007427","price":11.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_c9b3928f-5ab1-42c8-a53b-fa7c81527a3b.jpg?v=1767678608","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/northbridge-rectory-9780349007427","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
