This romantic story is based around the life of one elderly spinster who never married the man she loved, a man who repeatedly proposed to her. Relationships across several generations are described in the tale that spans more than a century and highlights the devastating effects of two world wars on a small, farming community. Set in England's beautiful New Forest, the tale brings laughter and heartache, cruelty and joy, success and failure.
