More about the book
Helen Westmoreland, a summer resident from Boston, has rented a castle-like building in Newport, Rhode Island. Recognizing that her life needs renewal, she has set out with her long-time boyfriend, Roddie Feyman, to win the hearts and minds of the residents of the hamlet of Belltone.Her landlady, Miss Charity Manner, has other ideas. Though giving up her mansion because of financial straits, Charity has no intention of giving up her position in local society. As a direct descendant of Early Manner, a Quaker settler who came to Rhode Island seeking freedom (commercial, that is, not religious), she has been for many years the uncrowned queen. Until now, no one has tempted Fate by doing anything which might encourage the famous Mannerly temper. The battle for supremacy is fought against a lovely seaside backdrop, where the warm summer sand runs blue with ‘blood’ and no quarter is given or expected.
