Landscape in Sunlight
By:Elizabeth Fair
Published on 2017-03-20 by
At the end of the war, Mrs. Midge stayed on. While the war lasted Mrs. Custance had accepted her as part of the war-effort; it was only in the past year or two that Mrs. Midge had been transferred to the category which Mrs. Custance described as |people we could manage without.| Elizabeth Fair's rollicking second novel takes place in Little Mallin, where village life is largely dominated by preparations for the August Festival. Out of such ordinary material Fair weaves a tale of conflict, scheming, misunderstanding--and of course romance. Among the villagers are a vicar dreaming of ancient Greece; his wife, largely concerned with getting their daughter married off; the melancholic Colonel Ashford; the eccentric Eustace Templer and his nephew; not to mention Mrs. Midge and her delicate son. The author said the novel was meant for people who |prefer not to take life too seriously.| Compton Mackenzie said it was |in the best tradition of English humour.| Furrowed Middlebrow is delighted to make available, for the first time in over half a century, all six of Elizabeth Fair's irresistible comedies of domestic life. These new editions all feature an introduction by Elizabeth Crawford. |Where she breaks with the Thirkell school is in her total absence of sentimentality and her detached and witty observation of her characters.|--The Sphere |A real success ... will give pleasure to those for whom Trollope and Jane Austen remain the twin pillars of English fiction.|--John O'London's Weekly
