  A cantankerous, elegant old woman sits in her beautiful Somerset house while her family secretly plots to evict her. In the garden is Lady Pamela's last loyal retainer, out at grass is her one remaining racehorse, and in London is the man she should have married - still her dearest friend. Maeve Delaney, streetwise and outrageous, and sole applicant for the job of companion to Lady Pamela, bursts into the old house like a firework. As open warfare settles into an wary truce between the two women, Maeve sets her heart on bringing the great racehorse, Irish Dancer, out of retirement, and everything changes.

  Maeve Delaney, at twenty-six years of age, has learnt to attack life with a vengeance, restlessly seeking diversions and thinking up escapades that leave her rather more conventional friends reeling. Now, as 'carer and companion' for the arthritic - and rather crotchety - Lady Pamela, Maeve's exuberance and energy give new life to all who visit or live at Charlton: from her shockingly handsome friend, Mohammed, a Greek illegal immigrant, to her best mate, the reliable, conventional Sophie; from dashing Matt Digby, the local vet, to Lady Pamela's charming lover Sam. Life can never be dull in Maeve's presence. But will it be different when she leaves?
