About This Book

An imperious older aunt becomes the center of a comic family chronicle after her nephew’s college escapades prompt her to intervene; she reorganizes his prospects, endures scandals and lawsuits, and is gradually drawn into city life. A succession of mishaps, social entanglements, and flirtations lead her into night-time adventures, cards, and public entrapments that expose family tensions and reveal unexpected vulnerabilities. Through lively misunderstandings and reconciliations the aunt embraces a surprising social and emotional renewal, culminating in a return to calmer surroundings, restored relationships, and a generally cheerful resolution.
