Publisher's Summary

The four Grace sisters love their quiet life in the country village of Chevis Green. To some, their insular world might seem dull, but the sisters never seem to run out of conversation, jokes, and pleasant ways to pass the time together. They truly are the happiest of families. That is, until Aunt Rona comes to town.

Rona intends to stay with the Graces indefinitely, and her meddlesome attitude immediately sets the sisters' teeth on edge. Throw in another unexpected houseguest, some potential suitors and a case of mistaken intentions, and the members of the Grace family suddenly find themselves quite out of their element. Will they manage to make it through the summer and return to their quiet ways?

Delightful story

I love this story, which I first read as a teenager; It was my mother's book, which she had bought in 1950; I still have the copy, but it is a little battered and foxed now. This story is beautifully narrated and I still enjoy it, even though I know parts of it almost by heart! I still laugh at the dry humour and it illustrates the problems of the war, without emphasising them dramatically; and whilst it incorporates some romance it is not sloppy or silly.
The only slight criticism I would make is in Chapter 7 ... Liz was not driving a farm cart full of MARIGOLDS! it was full of MANGOLDS (cattle food). It seems silly to use 'marigolds' this was in wartime and farms were certainly not growing marigolds. Just a very minor point, but still!
