The sphere of action is small but the implications are wide and carry truths of universal significance. Focusing on two families the Gibsons and the Hamleys this novel describes the habits loyalties prejudices petty snobberies rumours and adjustments of a countryside hierarchy. Young Molly Gibson's life is turned upside down when her father remarries. She finds herself acting as a go-between in her step-sister's love affairs. In doing so she risks losing her honour and her own chance of love and happiness. The Folio Society hardcover
