Reception
[edit]In a review for The Mirror, Charlie Catchpole wrote that "It required patience, stamina, a stiff drink and a box of man- sized Kleenex to get through to the end of Nancherrow".[1]
Synopsis
[edit]After the Colonel dies it is his daughter, Loveday, who inherits the house and all of its problems, including dry rot.[3] Bewitched by the magic of Nancherrow, Loveday fights to keep the estate going so that, in time, her young son Nat may inherit same, while dealing with the reappearance of her one true love Gus and her failing marriage to Walter.
Meanwhile, Judith is finding life as the wife of a busy doctor difficult, especially after suffering multiple miscarriages. It is a time of much change and heartfelt expectation for everyone at Nancherrow.
