A beautifully written novel set in a girls' boarding school just after the Second World War. The characters - the teaching and domestic staff, their families and a handful of pupils - are finely drawn with affectionate wit, pithy observation and gentle understatement. The threads of their lives intertwine as the summer term progresses. A perfect school story and an unforgettable gem of a book.
