'Her stories remain with one, indelibly, as though they had been
some turning-point in one's own experience' - Elizabeth Bowen,
author of The Heat of the Day Intelligent and haunting, with echoes
of Brief Encounter, this is a love story by one of the best British
writers of the 20th century. During summer games of hide and seek
Harriet falls in love with Vesey and his elusive, teasing ways.
When he goes to Oxford she cherishes his photograph and waits for a
letter that never comes. Years pass and Harriet stifles her dreams;
with a husband and daughter, she excels at respectability. But then
Vesey reappears and her marriage seems to melt away. Harriet is
older, it is much too late, but she is still in love with him.
