An impossible choice . . . and a lifetime of care and nurture could vanish in a moment.

Matriarch of the family, Lucilla has spent a lifetime making the Hampshire estate of Damerosehay a haven for the Eliots. When her favorite grandson, David, falls in love with a woman who belongs to another, Lucilla sees her most cherished ambitions put at risk. But can she persuade David and Nadine to put duty before love?

I love this book - and all Elizabeth Goudge stories. It is not the narrator’s fault but the Americanisms in a very English book jarred. Mispronouncing names and words - Nadine, Maurice and scythe all come to mind. I had to get past that to hear the words.
