An amusing, wry homage to Jane Eyre by one of the best novelists of
the twentieth century. When newly orphaned Cassandra Dashwood
arrives as governess to little Sophy, the scene seems set for the
archetypal romance between young girl and austere widowed employer.
Strange secrets abound in the ramshackle house. But conventions are
subverted in this atmospheric novel: one of its worlds is suffused
with classical scholarship and literary romance, but the other is
chaotic, quarrelsome and even farcical. Cassandra is to discover
that in real life, tragedy, comedy and acute embarrassment are
never far apart.
