Presents the saga of Evelyn Fawley and her family, in a sweeping chronicle that moves from the early years of the twentieth century to the end of World War II
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Set in England in the years before and during WW II, this appealing family saga centers upon Evelyn Fawley, a girl whose life changes radically when her widower father remarries. Dorothy, her stepmother, brings a tide of messy domesticity into the family's new home. She also brings Michael, her son, who is a few years older than Evelyn. The two children prove steadfast companions. Unfortunately, the boy's poor academic record is a continual source of trouble to Evelyn's father, schoolmaster Gilbert Fawley. The ongoing struggle between Gilbert and Michael ultimately leads to a rift in the family. Stubbs (The Northern Correspondent) chronicles Evelyn's adolescence with a deft touch. Both the problems of a sensitive child growing up in a home that is never quite as happy as her parents pretend, and the trauma of a nation preparing for and going to war, are skillfully evoked in this perceptive novel.
