Sinopsis

&ldquo,Everything that',s happening to us&mdash,yes, everything&mdash,is to be regarded as a lark. See? This is my last word. This. Is. Going. To. Be. A. Lark.&rdquo,It&rsquo,s 1919, and Jane Quested and her cousin Lucilla are pulled suddenly from school by their guardian, who sets them up in a cottage on the fringes of London and informs them (by letter, since he&rsquo,s already fled) that he&rsquo,s gambled away their inheritance but is leaving them the house and ú500 to carry on with. Lucilla is disheartened, but Jane is certain it will be a lark.With the help of a handsome man, a classic example of a &ldquo,capable woman&rdquo,, and a war veteran with a green thumb, the two unflappable young women set up a market garden, which develops into a guest house, which develops into&mdash,well, you&rsquo,ll have to read and see. It&rsquo,s true they have some difficulties as businesswomen, not to mention with housekeeping, but this is ultimately a tale fully living up to its title.Forgotten for decades, despite Nesbit&rsquo,s fame as a children&rsquo,s author, her final novel for adults, first published in 1922, is a delight that&rsquo,s ripe for rediscovery. This new edition includes an introduction by Charlotte Moore.&ldquo,An economy of phrase, and an unparalleled talent for evoking hot summer days in the English countryside.&rdquo,--Noel Coward
