The Passing of the Day (Large print, Hardcover, Large type / large print edition)


An engrossing story of the glamorous but passing world of the 1920s English country house When Alan Stone buys Leigh farm from the estate of Furzedown Manor, his angelic good looks and well-tailored linen suits cause a stir at the glamorous society parties held at the big country house; and his presence ruffles more than a few feathers as wives and fiancees are suddenly tempted, as is the house's fashionable and magnetic hostess Elona Shelmerdine. On the surface it is a glamorous and carefree time, but it is doomed to pass, as social changes and historical events threaten his idyllic world, and Alan is the innocent catalyst as hidden tensions inevitably lead to tragedy. A beautifully written story in which the author subtly portrays the glamour, tensions and tragedies of the period through a cast of truly engaging characters.
