"Lorna Sage's adventure in autobiography is an anatomy of three marriages that brings to life her girlhood in postwar provincial Britain. Her early childhood was dominated by her brilliant, bitter grandfather, a drinker, a womanizer, a vicar, exiled to a remote village on the Welsh border. His wife loathed him, lived on memories, and shook her fist at any parishioner bold enough to call at the house.
From the vicarage Lorna watched the fading away of the old world and the slow dissolve of her grandparents' disastrous union.".
"Then her father returns from the army and she moves with her parents and baby brother into a newly built house. Living with her parents, she quickly learns that the world is full of secrets and myths that mark her family - her mother's thwarted dreams, her father's addiction to work, and the mysterious emotional economy of their proper marriage. Longing to leave, Lorna vows she will never marry or have children, but before long she finds herself having grown up far too fast."--BOOK JACKET.
