When Julia Gideon is widowed during the Second World War with five
children to look after, she is left to manage Westover House with
insufficient means for its upkeep. Urged by her solicitor brother
to downsize and turn the family home into flats, she reluctantly
agrees. However, as her new tenants move in it soon becomes clear
that the manor house cannot contain the fiery personalities that
are now living under its roof . . . From the hard up Godfrey and
his wife Cynthia, who must share a flat with his brother Hubert and
the uncouth Trixie; to Julia's elderly aunts, Letitia and Lucy, who
aspire to very different lives in their old age; and the
faux-French Mrs Pollock whose overbearing presence in her daughter
Ann-Marie's life is protective to the point of suffocation - life
is anything but simple at Westover. As heated relationships simmer
away and family feuds break through to the surface, Richmal
Crompton's Westover is a keenly observed study of what happens when
domestic life doesn't run so smoothly . . .
