Enter Sir Robert continues Angela Thirkell's delightful Barsetshire saga with her signature blend of wit, social satire, and lighthearted romance. Set in the genteel post-war English countryside, the novel introduces the charismatic and worldly Sir Robert Graham, whose arrival in Barsetshire stirs up both admiration and mild disruption among the village's well-established families. His presence injects a new energy into a world where tradition and routine often rule the day. As ever, Thirkell weaves multiple storylines — including blossoming romances, subtle rivalries, and comically mismatched conversations — all with her usual flair for dialogue and eye for character. Beneath the polished surface of polite society, she reveals the quiet dramas of love, change, and self-discovery. Sir Robert's interactions with the locals reveal both his charm and their vulnerabilities, casting new light on old relationships and prompting shifts in long-held assumptions. Balancing humor with tenderness, Thirkell captures the rhythms of village life while gently critiquing the class structures and social rituals of her time. Enter Sir Robert is both a standalone pleasure and a rewarding continuation for series fans — a cozy yet clever exploration of manners, personality, and the subtle power of a newcomer in a closely-knit world.
