About this book
A Sunday afternoon in Colonel Eldridge's garden opens a country-house novel about two brothers, their neighbouring homes and the family expectations attached to both. Sir William admires the lawns and old trees at Hayslope Hall, but his plans for improving the grounds around his own Grange prompt a discussion of money, inheritance and future responsibilities. Comfortable surroundings soon reveal differences in judgment about how the estate should be managed.
Archibald Marshall brings these concerns alongside the affections and assumptions of the younger generation. Norman thinks fondly of his cousin Pam, values her intelligence and notices her growing independence, while confidently weighing the suitability of other young men around her. Readers interested in English country life will find conversation, courtship and family loyalties closely connected to questions of property and status. The garden scene and Norman's private reflections offer two distinct views of a household's changing relationships.
