About this listen

During one glorious summer between the wars, the realities of life and the sexual ritual dance of the adult world creep into the life of young Margaret Marsh. Her father, preaching the doctrine of the unsavory Primal Saints; her mother, bitterly nostalgic for what might have been; Charles and Binkie, anchored in the past and a game of words; dying Mrs. Frayling and Lydia the maid, given to the vulgar enjoyment of life; all contribute to Margaret's shattering moment of truth. And when the storm breaks, it is not only God who is on the rocks as the summer hurtles towards drama, tragedy, and a touch of farce.

The interpretation was superb!

Made the story even more compelling.

It is a beautiful story - in spite of a “speedy ending” … ie a lot happens in the end all of a sudden - it is a bit of a contrast to the relative placid story

Great performance from the reader - beautiful book
