It felt like a glimpse into that world as it truly was during that tumultuous period. Pilcher can paint a picture of grief or innocence without making it dramatic. They were flawed, kind, selfish, naïve, and all of the things real people are. I felt like Judith, Loveday, Aunt Biddy, Edward, Gus, Jeremy, etc. It reminded me a bit of Brideshead Revisited in that way. She becomes close with the Carey-Lewis family and their glamorous lifestyle at their home, Nancherrow. Judith’s parents and young sister Jess head to Singapore for work while she stays in England with her aunt. ![]() It was a lovely read, one filled with unforgettable characters and setting that I got lost in. ![]() This thick novel stretches from 1935-45 and is set on the beautiful shores of Cornwall. ![]()
