Although the events take place at Christmas time, as a couple are traveling from Pau to England to spend Christmas with family, it is not a "Christmas story" such as A Christmas Carol or How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Instead it is a quietly amusing look at the foibles of the British matron abroad. This is a story set at Christmastime, rather than “a Christmas story” as the title implies. I like the whole mustard theme. It’s mildly funny, though I suspect it would’ve been funnier to the author’s contemporaries. I would’ve liked it more if there’d been more dialogue exchanges and less rambling third-person narrative. Quite a few times we’re “told” what characters say via reported speech when dialogue would’ve “shown” us what was going on. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML: Christmas at Thompson Hall brings together the best of the Christmas stories of Anthony Trollope, one of the most successful, prolific, and respected English novelists of the nineteenth century. Characterized by insightful, psychologically rich, and sometimes wryly humorous depictions of the middle class and gentry of Victorian Englandand inspired occasionally by missives in the "lost letter" box of the provincial post office that Trollope ranthese tales helped to enshrine the traditions of the decorated Christmas tree, the holiday turkey, and the giving of store-bought gifts. Today, they open a window onto a time when carolers filled the streets and each house's door displayed a wreath of evergreen boughs, a time at once distant and yet startlingly familiar. .Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
