Brother and sister, Constance and Kenneth Fielding live in calm respectability, just out of reach of London and the Blitz. But when a series of uninvited guests converge upon them from a Balkan exile to Kens old flame and the siblings own raffish father the household struggles to preserve its precious peace. In this full house, in a quiet corner of suburbia, no one expects to find romance.

But she can do melancholy with the best of them, too, not to mention melodrama * Guardian * Stella Gibbonsan exception to that old canard: women can't make us laugh * Independent * The Jane Austen of the 20th century -- Lynne Truss Stella is stellar * Sunday Herald *
