Complete and unabridged, with 60 full-page plates by Thomas Gainsborough, George Mears and Arthur Hughes. Lucy Macartney has been married for years to a man who is kind, dull and entirely certain of her, and then an old admirer comes back. Hewlett kept the Land Revenue Records before The Forest Lovers made him famous; here he leaves the Middle Ages alone and writes a modern marriage, which turns out to need more courage. Sixty plates of Edwardian interiors and portraits by William Orpen and John Lavery give the marriage its rooms, its faces and its world.
