This delightful novel can be thoroughly recommended. It gives a very true impression of a bit of English life in and about a provincial town in War time. The story concerns three daughters of a Colonel, of whom the eldest is the central figure. These and the other characters who are interwoven into the story are absolutely natural, convincing and typical, and will be found most interesting company.
