Description
By the author of Black Narcissus and The River'Godden was a writer who constantly drew on her own life experiences' ROSIE THOMAS, GUARDIAN'Her prose is pure, delicate, and gently witty' NEW YORK TIMES 'It has the rare illusive charm, the flashes of wit' KIRKUS REVIEWS Tracy Quinn, daughter of a screen star and raised on film sets around the world, returns to her adored family home, a country house named China Court.
Her grandmother's recent death has set in motion events that threaten Tracy's future and the very existence of China Court.
As Tracy fights to save the old house, inhabited by five generations of Quinns, the ancestors who created it are evoked: profligate, faithless Jared; Eliza, the embittered spinster; and Ripsie, an outcast orphan who rose to become the powerful matriarch.
China Court is the story of the hours and days of a country house in Cornwall and five generations of the family who inhabited it.
