DESCRIPTION:
A one of a kind reading experience The confusing blurb provided with this book nearly caused me to miss this delightful tale. So I attempt to provide something less confusing.The delightful Eleanor is a widow living in a house on the property of her former estate, which has been converted into several dwellings. Her unusual and formidable cousinClary comes to visit and is asked to stay. Eleanor had been married to a rather unpleasant man, from an unpleasant family. When a member of her husbands family comes home to die, he is attended by the beings tasked with esc. She is simply a joy to read Amazon Customer Elizabeth Cadell is a splendid writer. Her characters are varied and always interesting. Cadell is a master at moving her stories forward through engaging dialogue that rings true to each personality. Her British wit and dry humor creates some quite hilarious scenes. She is simply a joy to read!I have re-read this book many times and always with anticipation, even though I know it well, because it is just a very fun read. "Cousin Clary" is wonderful and her shrewd observations often priceless! It is as though Cadell has lived wit. Another interesting tale MissMommy This author has a vivid imagination and provides the reader with profoundly different style books. I think this is my fifth read of hers and her style continues to entertain.
"Miss Cadell manages to be both affectionate and witty in writing about English middle-class manners. The result is delightful." - New York Herald Tribune

Watch for more to come in the near future!. Many later editions of Elizabeth Cadell's works were heavily abridged or changed. Deepwood Hous
