Description
Alda Lucie-Brown and her three daughters leave behind the chaos of war-torn London to start anew in rural Sussex. Seeking to bring love into their quiet lives, Alda sets out to orchestrate the affairs of those around them. Her efforts are met with varying degrees of success, as she navigates the complexities of human relationships. A cast of characters is drawn into her matchmaking schemes, including an Italian POW, a Communist field-hand, and a battery-chicken farmer. Through their stories, Stella Gibbons offers a nuanced portrayal of life in rural England during the 20th century. This novel provides a unique glimpse into the lives of those living on the outskirts of society, where the boundaries between love, politics, and everyday life are blurred.
