Light spine and cover creases, a bit of edgewear, page edges quite yellowed as is common with Virago editions; interior pages clean, none loose. Introduction by Maureen Duffy. ; 'Rhoda Powell wakes knowing that their mother's selfish and repining ways will impede their removal from Stone Hall, a large imposing secluded house with beautiful gardens, to a small one overlooking a housing estate. And Aunt Ellen, the spinster of the previous generation, is a warning to Rhoda of the woman she will become if she does not break away...' This novel 'intricately weaves thoughts of the past and the future, with the minutiae of one day's events, creating a complex portrait of one family's life...' ; The author is Jilly Cooper's "aunt-in-law". "It's a marvellous read, about a family moving from the old house to a smaller, newer, less well situated house, and the things that happen on that one day that allow some of the family to make a break with the past, and allow others to reconcile the past and get on with the new life."- Kate M. of the AT email discussion group.
