About This Book
Orris, a bookish woman living in town, responds to a relative's misfortune and takes in her niece Pippa, whose lively curiosity propels the pair into the countryside. There they meet Jock Muir, a playful, farming‑obsessed young man who guides them through old lanes, daffodil‑strewn drives, and an ageing manor, and introduces them to local acquaintances. Domestic upheavals, financial reversals, social obligations, and emerging affections unfold through visits, garden rambles, and candid conversations, as characters negotiate care, community ties, and questions of home and responsibility.
