Description

Lucy Cottrell, a woman worn down by post-war London life, accepts a surprise invitation to spend the summer at a Swiss chalet. Accompanied by Freda Blandish, a practical and undemonstrative friend, Lucy is tasked with inventorying the chalet's contents. However, distractions soon abound, including the arrival of Freda's daughter and her friend, as well as Lucy's godson and his friend. The housekeeper, Utta, and a challenging paying guest add to the chaos, as do clashing personalities and misunderstandings. As Lucy navigates this new and unfamiliar environment, she finds herself drawn to a budding romance. Packed with good humour and lush scenery, this novel is a charming tale of self-discovery and friendship.
