About this book
On a crowded suburban train, John Winter and James Sprague discuss building work and the prospect of larger contracts. Their different priorities soon emerge: John thinks about color and artistic opportunity, while Jim looks for projects that will bring their firm more money. At home in Rosedene, Lucy Winter manages dinner and cares for their young son, Dimmie, as the friends continue their debate.
Within this circle, affection coexists with a struggle over authority. Lucy's mother, Nannie, takes John's side in a bitter household quarrel, while Lucy insists on being treated as a person with wishes of her own. This domestic novel attends closely to voices, gestures, and small routines, making family life a study in competing loyalties. Its interest lies in the distance between warm familiarity and the pressure people can exert on those closest to them.
