The third of Elizabeth Goudge's trilogy of novels about the Eliots of Damerosehay. David Eliot finds his career as a successful and much-acclaimed actor a definite strain, and his brittle conversation and seeming arrogance earn him the dislike of his new secretary Sebastian Weber.

The most vital and successful of the Eliots, David is the natural head of the family. But the memory of a former love affair casts a shadow over his happiness, and it takes the peace and tranquility of Damerosehay, the enchanting Hampshire estate that is the Eliots' family home, to bring David to terms with his past and enable him to embrace the future with joy.

Elizabeth de Beauchamp Goudge was born on April 24th 1900 in Wells, Somerset, where her father was Principal of Wells Theological College. Although she had privately intended writing as a career, her parents insisted she taught handicrafts in Oxford. She began writing in her spare time and her first novel ISLAND MAGIC, set in Guernsey, was a great success here and in America. GREEN DOLPHIN COUNTRY (1944) projected her to fame, netting a Literary Guild Award and a special prize of 30,000 from Louis B. Mayer of MGM before being filmed. In her later years Elizabeth Goudge settled in Henley-on-Thames. She died on April 1st, 1984.
