Synopsis

A witty, intimate diary of a genteel household in motion and at play. This vivid novel follows a young narrator as she records daily life, gossip, and small dramas with humor, warmth, and a keen eye for social detail.

Set in a village and then in London, the book blends quiet domestic scenes with social farce, creating a lively portrait of family, friends, and the quirks of manners. The voice is playful, earnest, and observant, inviting readers into a world where conversations, weather, and friendship shape the day.

• A first-person narrator with sharp observational humor


• Bright scenes of village life, parties, and social visits


• A blend of tenderness, wit, and gentle satire


• A focus on relationships, secrecy, and personal growth through daily diaries

Ideal for readers who enjoy character-driven, witty historical fiction with a nostalgic, affectionate tone.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Chapter IP ebhafs curiosity has never been more keen nor mystery more baffling than has been the case during the last few weeks. There have been a few friends to tea at ahnost every house in the village to see if in this way any reasonable conclusions can be arrived at, and even Palestrina is satisfied with the number of people who have taken the trouble to walk up the hill and chat by my sofa in the afternoons. But although each lady who has called has said that she is in the secret, but at present is not at liberty to say anything about it, we are inclined to think that this is vain boiasting, or at least selfish reticence. The two Miss Traceys have announced to almost every caller at their little cottage during the last two years that they intend to build. We have all been naturally a good deal impressed by this statement, and although it was never plainly said what the structure was to be, we had had for a long time a notion of a detached house on the Common.
