Publisher's Synopsis
The characters are skilfully drawn, from the fierce Mrs London with her heart of gold to the garrulous Mrs Falconer who always gets things wrong and whose muddled stories of her girlhood make excruciatingly funny reading. The house party amuses itself with picnics and fishing excursions and is suitably thrilled by the flourishing ancestral feud of two rival clans, which has its origin in the dim past. Mrs Tim observes her fellow men and women with sympathy and humour and records her observations with a racy pen. The result is an attractive and witty story of an unusual character.
