Cheerfulness Breaks In (1996)

About book Cheerfulness Breaks In (1996)

I went on a tear about a decade ago and read a dozen or so Angela Thirkell novels, one after another, something I can barely imagine having the time or single-mindedness to do these days. In retrospect, this is my favorite of the the bunch, probably because of its wartime setting. I've always been fascinated by the home front experience in Britain during WWII, the rationing, black-out regulations, children's relocation programs, and other civic programs that were the stuff of everyday life. Aside from that, one of the perennial characters in the series, a young woman, takes center stage and proves to be an engaging (and unexpected) heroine.
