About This Book

The narrative centers on Myra Ingleby, mistress of a large country estate, who copes with seasonal quiet, household routines, and the anxious absence of a loved one away at war. Unexpected visitors and messages, including the arrival of Dr. Deryck Brand, disrupt domestic calm and provoke delicate conversations about duty, memory, and affection. Through parlor scenes, garden imagery, and social gatherings the story examines longing, resilience, and the small comforts and tensions of home as relationships and emotions gradually come to light.
