About this book
A proposal to Dora Millar sets her sisters talking, teasing and measuring the suitor against their ideas of a suitable match. Tom Robinson has education and a substantial shop, but the shop itself troubles the family's sense of social standing. Sarah Tytler's novel opens among four sisters in an English town, where a visitor's intentions can become everyone's business and the younger girls are quick to join the discussion.
Later scenes bring work and responsibility into this lively household story. Annie is training as a nurse, while Rose receives a stern lesson in self-control from Miss Lucilla after an impulsive outburst. Drawing lessons, family loyalties and the rules governing young women's behaviour provide much of the texture.
