During one glorious summer between the wars, the realities of life
and the sexual ritual dance of the adult world creep into the life
of young Margaret Marsh. Her father, preaching the doctrine of the
unsavoury Primal Saints; her mother, bitterly nostalgic for what
might have been; Charles and Binkie, anchored in the past and a
game of words; dying Mrs Frayling and Lydia the maid, given to the
vulgar enjoyment of life; all contribute to Margaret's shattering
moment of truth. And when the storm breaks, it is not only God who
is on the rocks as the summer hurtles towards drama, tragedy, and a
touch of farce.
