Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars An enjoyable book with well-developed characters   June 4, 2001
 13 out of 13 found this review helpful

This book is not so much a love story as a complete look at the changing relationships between three boys (Cosmo, Hubert and Felix) and a girl (Flora) over a period of forty years. It is an intriguing book, in which Mary Wesley shows both the integrity and folly of the children, which develops into confidence as they age, but also awkwardness as they still want to treat each other like children. The times are also well reflected in the French holidays, the blitz and peacetime. If you are looking for a book that draws you into the lives of the characters, then you will probably enjoy this and also The Camomile Lawn by the same author. However, if you prefer books more orientated around a love story, try The Vacillations of Poppy Carew and (my favourite) Harnessing Peacocks also by Mary Wesley, or books by Katie Fforde.
