Rose is a frail but wilful spinster who, in a self sacrificial act following her mother's death, became head of the family estate and self-appointed guardian of morality. Her death triggers painful memories for her younger sister Ella, memories which force her to confront the tragic consequences of a family's guilt, relentless martyrdom and denial of romantic love.
Ella's niece Amanda is struggling with her feminine identity, pressurised by the demands of two seemingly eligible suitors. Protective instincts prompt Ella to guide her. But Ella's sanity is waning and, as she attempts to make good, she invites history to repeat itself.
The only paperback edition available, with a chronology of Cary's life and times.
