When Evadne arrived at Williamsburg in the autumn of 1938 as Stephen Sprague's bride, she knew that the lines of cousinship between the Days and the Spragues were linked by marriage, but the long family history was new to her. She noticed that Stephen's cousin, Jeff Day, a foreign correspondent in London, looked the image of the portrait of his eighteenth-century grandfather Julian. She discovered, too, the the portrait of Grandfather Julian's wife, Tibby, looked exactly like her own niece, Mab, who, though she had never been to Williamsburg, at thirteen, knew the family chronicle by heart and had always been tremendously curious about the town where her ancestors had lived. It had often seemed to the family in England that in some strange way Mab could remember Williamsburg. This, the seventh novel in Miss Thane's enormously popular Williamsburg series, is nevertheless set in London during the heroic, nerve-racking years 1938-41. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

When Evadne arrived at Williamsburg as Stephen Sprague's bride in the autumn of 1938, the long family history in the little Virginia town was a new and fascinating story to her. Evadne noticed that the portrait of Grandfather Julian's wife Tibby looked exactly like her own niece Mab, who had never been to Williamsburg, but who at thirteen knew the family chronicle by heart. In this, the 1938-41 volume, we find Evadne back at her warden's post in London; Stephen with his new mobile canteen; Jack on his job under fire as much as any soldier, Sylvia sticking to her Animal First Aid post; Virginia at Farthingale; and Mab, too young to go for a VAD but considering herself too old for evacuation, turning her back on the place she wanted most to be, because Jeff was in England, writing the blitz, and where Jeff was she had to stay.
