Publisher's Summary

Coral Glynn arrives at Hart House, an isolated manse in the English countryside, early in the very wet spring of 1950, to nurse the elderly Mrs. Hart. Hart House is also inhabited by a perpetually disgruntled housekeeper and Major Clement Hart, Mrs. Hart's war-ravaged son, who is struggling to come to terms with his latent homosexuality.

When a child's game goes violently awry in the woods surrounding Hart House, a great shadow - love, perhaps - descends upon its inhabitants. Like the misguided child's play, other seemingly random events propel Coral and Clement into the dark thicket of marriage. Coral Glynn explores how quickly need and desire can blossom into love, and just as quickly transform into something less categorical.

Profile Image for K.C. Brock

Dolly saved this novel and the characters.

It took me 3 years to get through this audiobook, the characters are so difficult in that they are weak people with no clarity about themselves. Except for Dolly whose inner strength and honesty assisted all the characters to finally evolve and even to grow their own backbones...sort of. Peter Cameron is one of my favorite novelists. This is my least favorite of his books, yet still, I feel satisfied having finished it. Simon Prebble was excellent.
