I cannot say enough good things about this novel and do not know what was in the head of the person who gave it a bad review. This is, so far, my favorite Thirkell novel, and that is saying something. Characters that leap out from the page and into your heart. Austenesque misadventures in love. And wickedly funny humor. I almost never laugh out loud at a book, but I must have laughed several hundred times at this one. Absolutely marvelous!

Sense And Sensibility Meets Frazier!...

One of my least favorite of her books. It isn't bad just not as good as others

Mediocre

Much ado about nothing. . . . but not as pleasant as her usual fluff. Too much time spent in the brains of people getting worked up about foolish things. Good but not stellar performance, and a weaker-than-normal-story.

Palls. . .

If you like Anthony Trollope but have read them all, pick up Angela Thirkell. Witty repartee and a good story.

Books written in the 1930s have a similar flare and this one certainty did not disappoint the romantic. Somewhat slow and sometimes silly, the crushes and loves that progress throughout the summer are beautifully described. This is an honorable romance because everyone keeps their pants up and zippers zipped.

An English setting with some Victorian influences.

A historical novel

Wild Strawberries gets off to a slow start but improves after the first few chapters. The lead characters are too bland except for the matriarch who is a wonderful comic character. Bad boy flirt David is good but not hilarious. One of the best scenes is the London lunch where David treats two jealous girls— Mary and the BBC executive. The French family is boring and too much time is spent on them and the boring vicar. None of the servants are funny unlike High Rising. Mildly entertaining but not as engaging as her other two novels I’ve listened to so far. Lots of grief and melancholy throughout.

Not as good as High Rising or Pomfret Towers

I wanted to read an old English story to get a feel for what it would have been to live in a castle. The story may give that but it sounds very boring. There were a lot of characters but none were interesting enough to want to follow.

Slow and gets slower

About halfway through this book, I realized what its problem was: lengthy and repetitive descriptions of the foibles of the kind of people that Jane Austen demolishes as minor characters in her books. Imagine an entire novel with Mrs. Bennett at the center instead of Elizabeth Bennett. No one in this novel is interesting, all are embarrassing, and I felt like I was being hit over the head with social satire that is best when subtle. I don’t need eight examples to comprehend a French character’s nationalistic snobbery about French food—one or two would suffice. A waste of energy, unfortunately.

Excruciatingly dull and repetitive satire
