More about the book
Lydia has a cottage in Wales to which she retires to recover from a broken love affair. She is accompanied against her will by Betty, who is concerned for her well-being and likes to do the cooking. While Lydia would prefer to be alone and will not admit to suffering from nerves, when she starts hearing odd noises in the night she is quite pleased to have a companion. Then they meet some of the local people and Lydia begins to realise that the search for peace on earth can be a vain exercise, that tragedy and misunderstanding not only travel well but are to be found proliferating in the remotest corners.
