Barbara in Brittany

Barbara, a young Englishwoman traveling with relatives, spends a holiday in Brittany that blends travel writing, family comedy, and light mystery. The plot shifts from city lodgings to provincial scenery and a memorable visit to Mont Saint-Michel, introducing eccentric kin, local characters, and social unrest such as a strike. A nocturnal intrusion and the sudden flight of a suspicious solicitor prompt Barbara and her companions to investigate, devise escapes, and uncover deception. Episodes interleave descriptive passages, youthful plotting, and moments of suspense, concluding with reconciled family tensions and the resolution of the mysteries encountered on the journey.
