About this book
Yvonne's letters to her mother turn a French sightseeing trip into a running account of Uncle John's complaints, suspicions and sudden enthusiasms. Anne Warner begins this comic novel aboard a steamer, where luggage, deck chairs and possible romances give him fresh reasons to interfere. Yvonne records his pronouncements with an amused attention to the gaps in his reasoning, while her own affection for Lee complicates the family conversations.
Once in France, the comedy follows trains, rainstorms, a misplaced umbrella and a visit to the castle at Falaise. The old buildings interest Uncle John, even as his moods make travel tiring for his companion. The pleasure lies in the contrast between grand historic sights and the small practical troubles of seeing them.
