From the author of THE MARRIAGE OF MEGOTTA and the BROTHER CADFAEL series under the name of Ellis Peters.

From AudioFile:
What begins as a carefully wrought, but rather brittle, Gothic piece gradually broadens its scope to embrace the whole life of a rural British community circa 1950 and, in microcosm, the human condition. Rosemary Davis expands with it, always retaining the highly cultivated quality with which she began, but also doing justice to the roughest of characters and situations. She's a perfect match for the author's narrative tone. She differentiates character voices lightly, but makes them all speak with conviction. This is an audiobook that grows on the listener as the scope of the story and the resources of the reader gradually reveal themselves. J.N. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Book Description Hard Back. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Senior, David - Jacket (illustrator). 284 Pages. Reprint of a 1951 Heinemann publication. Very slight spine cock and a hint of age-tannning to top page edges. Dust jacket price $14.95 is unclipped. Hig on a rocky outcrop above heathland stands a Victorian gothic mansion, built by the ancient and aristocratic Rose family. In the lodge of the house live the last two of the fading line. Rosalba Rose, at 17, has always been dutifully submissive to her ferocious 80 year old great-aunt martine, who is wedded to the past and only concerned with the family lname, Rosalba's life with her great-aunt contains little pleasure and no companionship. Eugene Seale, artistic, but embittered from a deprived background, is doing his national service in the army. One day Rosalba watches him swimming in a secluded pool on the old estate and later they meet. For Rosalba, love awakens her; while the solitary Eugene finds renewal and fresh hope. Eugene and Flo Derrick, a friend of Rosalba's, help to organise a take-over of a ruined army camp by homeless families. Battle is joined with the authorities. American servicemen are drafted in, among lthe homesick Budge Fetterbrand, weary of 1950's England, yet lending his support to the cause. A showdown is inevitable as old and new collide. A novel that explores profoundly human emotions in a country community during an era of great social change. Contents in Seven Chapters: Rosalba, Eugene, Two Lost Children, Flo, Budge, Four Lost Children, Judgment Eve, and Judgment Day. Seller Inventory # 9045
