As Elizabeth II's coronation draws near, the gentry of Barsetshire engage in preparations, committee meetings, and their perennially amusing antics (The New York Times).
A new queen is about to be crowned, and the prominent families of Barsetshire intend to make a good impression amid the festivities. Fortunately, the highly capable Lydia Merton takes the helm of the local committee planning for the big event. All she needs to do is keep calm and carry on through the squabbling, the petty jealousies, and the occasional disaster . . .
The Thirkell wit presides with tongue-rolling malice. --The New York Times
Where Trollope would have been content to arouse a chuckle, [Thirkell] is constantly provoking us to hilarious laughter. . . . To read her is to get the feeling of knowing Barsetshire folk as well as if one had been born and bred in the county. --Kirkus Reviews
