About this book

A storm brings Sir Ulfar Fenwick to the door of Seat-Ambar, an old Cumberland house where Aspatria Anneys lives with her brothers William and Brune. Their guest's polished manners and stories of distant places stir Aspatria's interest, while the household's welcome reveals its pride, affection and attachment to the land. Amelia E. Barr places this love story among gardens, farms and the mountains and waters of northern England.

Family loyalty becomes a painful matter when Aspatria asks William to leave Ulfar alone, appealing to the memory of their mother. Alongside these charged conversations, Barr describes the ordinary work of tending animals, keeping house and gathering at the fireside. The contrast gives the novel a particular texture: private sorrow unfolds within a home whose daily routines continue.
