About the book
Twenty three year old Mary Preston goes to visit her relations at Rushwater and meets two men - charming, irresponsible, infuriating David and dependable John. The story of which one she ends up with is told against a backdrop of Lady Emily (maddeningly absent-minded) Martin (seventeen and well-intentioned), Agnes (dim but sweet) and the rest of the family, as only Thirkell can.
