Nur der Sommer zwischen uns
'Während ich das hier schreibe, sitze ich im Spülbecken', lautet ein Eintrag in Cassandra Mortmains Tagebuch. Die 17-Jährige lebt mit Vater, Stiefmutter, Schwester und Bruder in einem heruntergekommenen Schloss auf dem Land und langweilt sich. Zum Zeitvertreib übt sie sich im Schreiben, und das am liebsten über ihre unkonventionelle verarmte Künstlerfamilie: den Schriftsteller-Vater, dessen erster Roman sich grandios verkauft hat, der aber seither unter einer Schreibblockade leidet und sich in Kriminalromane vergräbt, die einst glamouröse Model-Stiefmutter, die mit Vorliebe nackt durch die Landschaft spaziert, die schöne, aber meist missmutige Schwester Rose und den kleinen, aber schlauen Bruder Thomas. Dann stirbt überraschend der Schlossbesitzer, und als die Erben, zwei amerikanische Gentlemen, auftauchen, nimmt das Leben der Familie eine unerwartete Wendung.

It Ends With Revelations
During a summer festival in an English spa town Miles Quentin, a distinguished actor, and his devoted wife become friendly with the local MP Geoffrey Thornton, and his young daughters Robin and Kit. All of these attractive, intelligent and busy people seem untroubled at first. But the surface of their lives conceals problems which start to come to light after the Quentin's return to their London theatre world and the Thornton's to their Westminster home. This leads to an unconventional love story in which loyalty may prove more important than love. <BR><BR> It Ends with Revelations deals with complex issues of love and commitment, while retaining elements of the light hearted comedy of I Capture The Castle and the nostalgic charm of The Town in Full Bloom. As ever, the vivacity of Dodie Smith's writing and the warmth of her characters will keep readers guessing until the last page.
