Description
Dean Street Press Seaview House by Elizabeth Fair
I wonder what Mr. Heritage thought of his godson she said quickly.Rather clumsy but quite good manners Edith remarked. And a well-shaped skull.These were her own views but she took it for granted that sensible people would agree with her.Sisters Edith and Rose have rather come down in the world by keeping their hotel Seaview House. So Mr Heritage believes and hes not pleased when Roses daughter Lucy--grown a bit too attractive for his comfort--becomes friendly with his godson Edward. Would-be paramour Nevil isnt thrilled either and to complicate matters further Edward is behind a scheme to build new terraced housing depriving village residents of their coveted sea view.Dilemmas and dramas unfold--including a fire a cooks prophecy and a disaster of a luncheon--but the loose ends get tied up in Elizabeth Fairs cheerful inimitable style.Furrowed Middlebrow is delighted to make available for the first time in over half a century all six of Elizabeth Fairs irresistible comedies of domestic life. These new editions all feature an introduction by Elizabeth Crawford.light-hearted shrewd diverting--New York TimesMiss Fair makes writing look very easy and that is the measure of her creative ability.--Compton Mackenzieshow more
