Like so many of the writers that she admired--Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, George Eliot--Thirkell shared their X-ray vision: an unmatched ability to assess the hypocrisies, desires, and prejudices of her characters and, better still, play them for laughs. Her biggest literary project, the Barsetshire Chronicles, consists of twenty-nine novels, each acting as another slice of English country life; a utopian vision of bucolic countryside, grand manors, and village fêtes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Road Integrated Media, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48460920226029,"sku":"9781504092890","price":28.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/files\/img_a1aa1399-4ced-42d2-a3b4-18466017e71e.jpg?v=1753671365","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/three-score-and-ten-9781504092890","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
