Synopsis
Five cousins gather on their aunt’s camomile lawn and talk about the coming war. It is the last summer of their youth. Over the next few years they remain united by shared losses and loves, family ties and the absurd conditions imposed by the war. Through it all, they try to hang onto the part of themselves that laughed and played games on that camomile lawn.

About the Author
Mary Wesley was born in Berkshire. She wrote two children's books before publishing her first adult novel in 1983 at the age of 70. Since then she has produced a succession of books dealing with middle-class mores, each written with ironic, detached amusement, and taking an unblinered, though compassionate look at sexual values. One of the best known is The Camomile Lawn, which considers sexual and emotional relationships in the turmoil of World War II. It, like several of her novels has been made into a television series.
Review
'Told with elegance and asperity by the superb Anna Massey' -- Sunday Telegraph 'Anna Massey could read the telephone directory and I would listen. When she's reading a writer of the quality of Mary Wesley, it becomes a real pleasure.' -- Oxford Times
