Description
Jack Middleton likes to imagine himself as a country squire. When he retires to his estate with his wife Catherine at weekends, they enjoy a peaceful life. However, their tranquillity is disrupted by the arrival of Jack's sister Lilian and her two stepchildren, who spend the summer in the neighbouring house. Lilian's daughter Daphne is a capable and ambitious young woman, while her brother Denis is a composer who doesn't quite fit Jack's idea of entertainment. Despite their initial awkwardness, they soon win over the residents of Barchester with their wit and good sense. Even Jack begins to soften towards them, particularly when Daphne catches the eye of Lord Bond's son. As the summer progresses, romance blossoms, but misunderstandings threaten to derail it. Can disaster be avoided before Daphne marries the wrong man? This sparkling comedy from Angela Thirkell is a charming tale of love, family, and social etiquette.
