About this book
The death of Reginald Branscombe leaves his brother Arthur with the title of Earl of Sartoris and a household full of memories. At Hythe, Arthur grieves over their shared past while facing his new position in the family. His affection for his nephew Dorian has survived years apart, and the opening introduces Dorian's easy manner alongside the family history that shaped him and his younger brother Horace.
Grief gives way to lighter exchanges in this novel by Duchess. On a rainy afternoon, Clarissa and Georgie play battledore and shuttlecock until Dorian's arrival interrupts their game. Teasing remarks, an admiring glance and Georgie's ready admission that she will miss him make small social encounters carry emotional weight. Readers interested in family relationships and courtship will find a story whose furnished rooms, remembered attachments and lively conversation give feelings a distinctly domestic setting.
