Escape to the Cornish cliffs in the dizzying heat of August 1939,
where five cousins are making the most of the last summer of their
youth. Oliver is just back from the Spanish Civil War and
world-weary at only nineteen. Calypso is gorgeous, utterly selfish
and determined to marry for money. Polly and Walter, brother and
sister, play their cards close to their chests. Then there's little
Sophie, who nobody loves. Soon the world will be swept into war
again and the five cousins will enter a whirligig of sex,
infidelity, love and loss, but for now they have one last,
gaspingly hot summer at the house by the cliffs with the camomile
lawn. A beloved bestseller from an author ahead of her time, The
Camomile Lawn is a waspishly witty, devil-may-care delight.
