O knihe
Aged just seventeen Hermione is passed from the hands of an inattentive mother into an engagement with a young man she barely knows. Glad to have her pretty daughter married and celebrated by their social circle, Hermione's mother gives little thought to the fitness of the match. Hermione now finds she must grow up, and grow into a life with a man who is not her natural partner.
Following Hermione and her family from the late nineteenth century through the First World War and the changing society of the post-war era, Crompton explores the strains and joys of an imperfect marriage with a warm and humorous eye.
Richmal Crompton's adult novels are an absolute delight and every bit as charming as her beloved Just William series. A nostalgic treat for fans of the gentler brand of interwar fiction, this is the perfect heritage read for fans of 1930s fiction at its best.
"Miss Crompton writes, as always, with distinction and humour. Her story of Hermione's married life can be heartily recommended as an individual novel about ordinary people" Spectator
"It is a charming and delightful tale" Birmingham Post
"Ironical, humorous, and brilliantly understanding" Everyman
