no one narrates English social history or the story of human actions like the late Norah Lofts. This is one of her best and I've read them all. It is set in 1937 in rural East Anglia and tells the story of a man who wants to be left in solitude on his smallholding. His favorite sisters' son shows up unexpectly and then the drama and eventual tragedy start. When i review it it doesn't sound very exciting, but if you're an Anglophile and can't get enough of our social history, Norah Lofts is the author for you. This is one of her best. Buy it with "Requiem for Idols" and get 2-for1!!
