The Swifts--three sisters of marked eccentricity, defiantly
christened April, May, and baby June, and their only brother,
one-eyed Jasper--have little in common but some vivid memories of
their darling mother and a long lost youth particularly prone to
acts of treachery. Into their world comes cousin Leda from Vienna,
a visitor from the past, blind but beguiling. Within days, the
lifestyle of the Swifts has been dramatically overturned--and
desires, dormant for so long, flame fierce and bright like never
before. Molly Keane also wrote under the pen name M.J. Farrell;
among her many timeless novels are "The Knight of Cheerful
Countenance, Conversation Piece, Devoted Ladies, " and "Good
Behavior."
