About This Book

A young woman returns to a prosperous country household and is drawn into the rhythms of a large family and its social world. Arriving in a village of conspicuous new houses and landscaped grounds, she notes architectural display, charitable institutions, and the contrasts between private comfort and public show. Hosts offer brisk hospitality while relatives vary from warmly affectionate to reserved and suspicious, and domestic scenes range from children at play to formal reception. Through descriptive episodes and interpersonal detail, the narrative examines manners, social expectation, and the heroine's gradual adjustment to her changed surroundings.
