D. E. Stevenson
When their father dies, none of the three Harcourt girls are particularly upset. The loss of the family's income, however, is not something so easily overcome. When their mother Anna discovers that they have been left penniless, she decides to move them out of London and back to her hometown in Scotland. Helen, the demanding eldest sister, decamps almost immediately to Edinburgh in search of the excitement and refinement Ryddelton cannot offer. Rosalie, having always lived in her more beautiful eldest sister's shadow, begins to come into her own. And Jane finds an education she could never have gotten at Oxford in her work as a secretary for Mrs Millard, an eccentric biographer currently residing in the village. Anna's daughters seem to be settling down to their new life until Ronnie, a tall, broad-shouldered scientist, steps into their lives....

Narration was wonderful.
Wonderful Story
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The novel is narrated by the youngest daughter, Jane, which makes it very suitable for an audiobook. I thought that Candida Gubbins did a very good job of starting her narration as the very young, confused and uncertain 17 year old Jane and slowly transitioning to the mature and confident Jane who is probably in her 30's by the end of the novel.
Highly recommended to all who enjoy D. E. Stevenson's books or books about Scotland or what is sometimes called "middlebrow women's fiction." A sort of fictional biography or memoir. I like Jane and can wish that a sequel had been written.
Those who have read other novels by D. E. Stevenson will recognize the village/town of Ryddelton, and enjoy short mentions of characters who were featured in earlier books, including Listening Valley, Celia's House, Katherine Wentworth, and Mrs Tim Flies Home. However, it is not necessary to have read them first.
