From the Publisher:
On the death of her father, a retired clergyman, Denham Dobie is forced to leave her wild and carefree life in Spain and is thrust into the gossiping highbrow circle of her well-meaning relatives in London. Thrown into a world of publishers and writers, this awkward young woman ‹ a tomboy and rebel at heart ‹ sees their society for the self-absorbed, self-satisfied world it is and offers a devastating, and very funny, social commentary within her own moving story. A bitingly funny, elegantly written comedy of manners from the incomparable Rose Macaulay.
About the Author:
Emilie Rose Macaulay (1881-1958) was born in Warwickshire. Rose went to Oxford University and then wrote her first novel in 1906. She worked in the War Office and up to and between the wars she wrote a novel every two years, as well as essays, poetry and criticism. A traveller and ardent Catholic, she was created a Dame of the British Empire.
