About this book
A London consultation forces Vanna Strangeways to confront a future shaped by her family's history of mental illness. Her doctor urges her to seek friends, useful work and good health, while declaring that marriage would place her at risk. She returns to Jean Goring, whose gentle practical care offers a human answer to the severity of the consulting room.
Mrs. George de Horne Vaizey's romance follows the tension between that warning and Vanna's need for affection and companionship. At Seacliff, riding her horse Dinah and visiting the lonely Mrs Rendall give her days a steady rhythm. Her response to Piers's arrival introduces a more personal challenge. Conversations, acts of kindness and private reflections bring questions of duty, happiness and independence into ordinary social life.
