'Audrey Chevening is the orphan daughter of a shell-shocked, nerve racked soldier who, in a moment of mania, shot his unfaithful wife and then committed suicide. The child of seven is supposed to have been asleep during this tragedy; her father's cousins, George and Anne Chevering, adopt her and bring her up with their own three little girls, and she has a happy life, surrounded with every comfort and loving care. She is a charming girl with a refreshing sense of humour—is happily engaged to an equally nice young man who owns a neighbouring estate. Buti a chance letter from an undesirable friend of her father arouses her sub-conscious mind to a recollection of this grim past, and she is filled with horror at the possibility of having inherited any trait that would infit her to be the wife of her adored Miles. Aunt Anne, realising Audrey's problem, treats it with sanity and loving sympathy, and so reassures the anxious child, so that the book concludes on a happy note.'

'Set in the final days of the “Bright Young Things” era, this appealing and light novel is the story of Hugo, recently expelled from Oxford, who is then bedridden by a serious automobile accident. The book is a chronicle of his recovery, as he receives a variety of visitors, including a gossip-prone elderly aunt, a female friend who “doesn’t believe in love or parents”, and his bête noir who unfortunately also happens to be his cousin. However, the most important visitor and the key to his recovery is the enigmatic Bunny who, even though he is invalided, makes him the focal point of her plots and intrigues.' (Publication summary)
