Synopsis
A flamboyant sea captain seizes a quiet Devon village, turning everyday life into a grand, comic voyage of power and pride.
Windward House becomes the stage for a larger-than-life personality who marches through Highfield with a loud voice, a big heart, and a rules-for-everyone attitude. This novel follows the funny, sharp uncovering of a community under the spell of Captain Drake’s self-made dominion, mixing satire with warmth as neighbors navigate loyalty, money, and truth.
- Meet a cast of memorable villagers, from the pompous to the practical, all colored by wit and vivid detail.
- Watch a small parish transform under a larger-than-life leader whose generosity and stubbornness clash with everyday life.
- Enjoy breezy, humorous prose that skims social quirks, family loyalties, and the meddling of wills and fortunes.
- Experience a story that blends comic misrule with moments of tenderness and surprising insight about community.
