Synopsis

Across a quiet Hampstead world, a mother's grief and a family's secrets collide with grace and doubt. This novel follows Frances and her grown children as they navigate love, loss, and the memory of those who fought and died. In a landscape of old houses, gardens, and a guiding sense of place, the book explores how memory shapes each choice and how a family learns to live with what remains.

Set against a backdrop of social change, it examines duty, resilience, and the fragile paths that lead from sorrow to meaning. The story intertwines intimate moments with broader questions about identity, faith, and the costs of devotion, offering a moving portrait of a family learning to honor the dead while continuing to live.

• Enter a world of intimate rooms, pressed between past and present, where voices argue, remember, and forgive.


• Follow a mother’s struggle to bear grief while protecting what remains of her family’s life.


• Experience shifts in relationships as characters face duty, loss, and the pull of memory.


• Explore themes of belonging, resilience, and the search for meaning after tragedy.

Ideal for readers who value character-driven fiction that blends family history with emotional discovery.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Feances Harbison was sitting out in the garden under the tree that her husband called an ash-tree, and that the people down in her part of the country called a tree of Heaven. It was warm under the tree, and Frances might have gone to sleep there and wasted an hour out of the afternoon, if it hadnt been for the children. Dorothy, Michael and Nicholas were going to a party, and Nicky was excited. She could hear Old Nanna talking to Michael and telling him to be a good boy. She could hear young Mary-N anna singing to Baby John. Baby John was too young himself to go to parties; so to make up for that he was riding furiously on Mary Nannas knee to the tune of the Bumpetty-B umpetty Major! It was Nicky sfirst party. That was why he was excited. He had asked her for the third time what it would be like; and for the third time she had told him.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
