It is the summer of 1892 and fifteen-year-old Tilly Pound has come
to Linden Rise - the holiday cottage of the genteel but
dysfunctional Culverton family - to work as a housemaid. She starts
as just another member of 'the help' but, as the years pass and the
19th century judders its unwieldy way into the 20th, this tough and
resourceful young woman becomes an anchor in a fragmenting world.
Mr and Mrs Culverton are trapped in a loveless marriage, rocked by
his obvious infidelities and marked by her helplessness and
fragility. Their children are raising themselves until Tilly
arrives, and it remains to be seen whether her lively good sense
can change their lives for the better . . . A beautifully written,
razor-sharp saga that paints a vivid portrait of the fraught and
nuanced relationships between parents and their children, Linden
Rise is full of the charming child characters that Richmal Crompton
always evokes so beautifully.
