I especially like Hilary Thorpe, and I wish we knew how her story turned out - maybe she ended up at Shrewsbury College. I thought there was a reference in this book to Peter taking Harriet to dinner, but now I can't find it.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17782561487396697870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011557877105021955.post-68153717234044115232011-07-04T17:26:55.319+01:002011-07-04T17:26:55.319+01:00Lyn, I loved this book, and probably more because ...Lyn, I loved this book, and probably more because it isn't without its flaws.

The atmosphere is wonderful, I even liked the bell-ringing bits & the old vicar (forgotten his name) is supposed to be based on Sayers's father.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011557877105021955.post-22648681949041369612011-07-03T22:40:42.739+01:002011-07-03T22:40:42.739+01:00I can see why.
