Synopsis
Seventeen-year-old Juno Marlowe is caught in a World War II air raid as she crosses London after seeing off to the front the two shallow young men she has worshipped like a puppy for years. Sheltered overnight by an ailing stranger, she is launched by his sudden death--and the letter he charges her to deliver to his father--into an unlooked-for but defiant journey. Embraced without question by his eccentric family, Juno blossoms under the watchful gaze of his father, the reclusive and mysterious Robert Copplestone.

Industry Reviews
"...Wesley's skill with character development and her subtle, amusing dissection of that paramount British preoccupation, family background and breeding, endow this novel with the charm of a comedy of manners and the enduring appeal of a satisfying love story."
Bilz

"An elegant, satisfying entertainment."
Howard

"...this new novel will give a lot of pleasure, featuring as it does a beautiful young girl, a nostalgic glance at the English country, teenage sex, the war, a gay gardener, a nosy neighbour, a question of paternity, and--finally--romance. It is highly readable."
Grimond

"One of the refreshing aspects of Mary Wesley's work is the way she has transformed the traditional love story. Not for her the "innocent" heroine carefully guarding her virtue until someone offers unconditional love and a lifetime of paid bills. The message proclaimed by her heroines is: offer your love where you will, and don't count the cost; one day you will meet a man so ravished by you that he will understand and love you. You will suffer, but you will be loved, and that is what matters."
Jefferson
