Synopsis
Love, social manners, and a moorland inn set the scene for a playful, perceptive romance.
In this brisk, character-driven extract, a young American narrator and her family travel through England’s moor country. They meet a lively circle at a Devonshire inn, where flirtation, wit, and social expectations collide in bright, observant detail. The narrator watches two guests maneuver a quiet, unfolding attraction, while she herself contemplates independence, travel, and what happiness might look like in a world of propriety and possibility.
The scene is rich with social contrast—between bustling city life and the damp, drawing rooms of the English hotel; between expectations of marriage and the pull of a hopeful, unplanned connection. It balances humor with a frank look at romance, making the inn feel like a lively crossroads where hearts might learn to beat in step.
- Glimpses of travel life across Britain, with witty, observant narration
- A developing rapport between a charming, reluctant suitor and a poised companion
- A playful examination of romance, manners, and personal freedom
- A vivid sense of place, from moorland scenery to bustling hotel halls
Ideal for readers who enjoy witty social satire wrapped in a tender, bygone-era romance.
Virginia Pomeroy’s Dartmoor setting and the inn-bound romance will appeal to fans of character-driven tales with a sharp eye for social dynamics.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of a group of individuals brought together by chance at a quiet inn on Dartmoor, England. The author, writing from the perspective of four characters, delves into the lives, experiences, and idiosyncrasies of a diverse cast: Virginia Pomeroy, a vivacious American traveler; Mrs. MacGill, a hypochondriac British woman prone to rambling pronouncements; Cecilia Evesham, Mrs. MacGillââ â¢s resigned companion; and Sir Archibald Maxwell Mackenzie, a stoic Scotsman. While the setting of this charming tale is undeniably picturesque, the author invites readers to contemplate a wider social panorama. Each character's observations on manners, travel, and the expectations placed upon them reveal a commentary on the changing roles of women and men in society at the turn of the 20th century. With witty dialogue, insightful social commentary, and a backdrop of rolling moors, the book offers a vibrant tapestry of personalities and a captivating glimpse into the eraââ â¢s social dynamics. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781331729358_0
