Title: Priorsford
Description: The pleasant story of the heroine of a previous book bringing her children back to spend the winter in the town where she grew up. (I think the book stands nicely alone if you haven't read Penny Plain, but if you have it is fun to catch up with the news of old friends.)

An interesting contemporary story of life at the end of the 1920s. It is basically a story of domestic life (for somebody with no money worries), but through the heroine's friends and charitable interests we do see something of the problems in the wider world. A happily married heroine, but romance touches some of the other lives.  A mostly light-hearted story with a little bit of tear-jerking, and a little bit of fun poked at some of the characters.

This is a sequel to "Penny Plain", and we see glimpses of the heroine in "Pink Sugar" set in the same district, so the three books have sometimes been packaged as an omnibus.
