About This Book

A whimsical comic romance follows a mysterious Breton woman found asleep beside an ancient standing stone whose arrival unsettles a small English household. Scientific skepticism, folkloric speculation, and romantic fascination collide as neighbors and acquaintances debate her origins, attend to her wardrobe and manners, and vie for influence. The story mixes light satire of social pretensions with a folk-magic atmosphere, chronicling misunderstandings, affectionate interventions, and the gentle transformation of ordinary lives through an encounter that blurs myth and everyday reality.
