A wonderfully told story about people trying to deal with the greatly changed post World War Two world, set in the beautiful Devon countryside.
Michael Stone was once a famous author. That was before he went to prison. Now, recently released, Michael needs a new beginning.
Weighed down by failure and despair, the town of Silverbridge seems too offer him a quiet, rural escape from the past. Kind, gentle vicar John Wentworth takes Michael under his wing, and introduces him to his family and friends.
At the vicarage, John's inexplicably discontented wife Daphne brings up their daughters. Bedridden Harriet, John's former nanny, deals impatiently with a world to which she cannot actively participate. At the family home, Belmaray, Aunt Maria is burdened by the worry of a failing estate. And at the grim little town school is fiery teacher Mary O'Hara, determined to foster change.
A story of courage and community, set in the beautiful Devonshire countryside.
