A Summer in the Country — Marcia Willett

Brigid Foster is the owner of Foxhole, a thatched farmhouse nestled on the slopes above the beautiful Devon moors. Although she loves solitude, Brigid nonetheless looks forward to leasing out Foxhole's two cottages for the summer months.

This year, however, her delight at the return of lively Londoner Louise Parry to occupy one cottage is dampened by the irritating presence of Frummie, her meddling mother, in the other. An aging Frummie is judgmental and sharp-tongued, making it clear she favors Brigid's half-sister, Jemima. But each of these women is keeping a precariously hidden secret. And now, a summer in the country becomes a season of stunning truths... and the ultimate testing of a woman's heart.
