Description
You'll find yourself drawn into the world of Marling Hall, where the rhythms of everyday life are subtly disrupted by the arrival of outsiders. New York Times readers have praised Angela Thirkell's novels for their gentle charm and wit. As the Second World War brings change to the country, Mr Marling struggles to come to terms with his estate's future. The Marlings' quiet world is soon turned upside down by the presence of Geoffrey Harvey and his sister Frances, who bring a new kind of sophistication to the neighbourhood. As relationships blossom and rivalries emerge, Miss Bunting watches over all with her characteristic calm. With its nuanced portrayal of life in wartime England, this novel offers a thoughtful and engaging read for fans of character-driven fiction.
