The tangled destinies of an unusual family are played out against the backdrop of the English countryside where two pretty sisters and a beautiful widow take centre stage in a drama of dangerous flirtation and backstairs gossip. Esther Musgrave, an attractive widow, has her hands full trying to keep her energetic family together – and on speaking terms! Her three daughters, prickly Delia, sensible Meg and carefree Rose, mean everything to her, especially since the death of her husband, Charles.

The story of the Musgraves in their Cotswold home, their loves and hates, hopes and disappointments, is vividly recounted in this charming chronicle of family life.

I loved this author first for the Miss Bunckle series. Republished in print by Persephone; then available on Audible. But she also wrote many other books, and they’re just so evocative of the era.

They are also great plots. They just have the edge on Angela Thirkell because there is almost no childish conversation and no padding.

The narrator is as ever, faultless.

This book has a good; well plotted story and is just good old escapism, whilst still being very well written.

She did write rattling good, domestic stories.

This is a charming novel, marred only by the unexpected appearance of the n- word. It wouldn't alter the story in the least to replace it with something inoffensive. The past is the past and I'm all for it being respected. But this mention is quite unnecessary and it could be changed without the least affect on the feeling of the book.

Only one thing wrong

The voices read by Anne Dover were very convincing and the story well read😌 with feeling.

Another good story
