Description

Barsetshire in the war years. Miss Bunting, a governess who has been out of retirement for some time, is brought back to tutor the daughter of Sir Robert and Lady Fielding. The young girl, Anne, lacks confidence and struggles to find her place in the world. As Miss Bunting works with Anne, she forms an unlikely friendship with Heather Adams, the daughter of a wealthy entrepreneur. This bond helps Miss Bunting understand the changing needs of the younger generation, who have been shaped by the war. Despite being part of the old social order, Miss Bunting is wise enough to adapt to these new circumstances. This charming novel offers a glimpse into village life during the Second World War, where the traditional social hierarchy has been turned upside down.
