In Ask Me No More, Anne Hepple has again written one of her happy books, full of laughter and rue. Susan Minto, the red-headed daughter of a very serious Scottish manse, having had, at seventeen, a disappointment in love, and believing her heart to be shattered and her faith destroyed, decides with due solemnity to be a man-hater, a hard-hearted cynic and a spinster. This is all very well until another determined red-head arrives on the scene—a young man from Australia. Then things begin to happen. Interwoven into the story is Susan's love for a hapless little girl and her doughty fight to keep the child from her lawful guardian which leads the two of them into many difficulties and adventures.
