The Musgraves -- D. E. Stevenson

<p><em>How old you can grow in three years! It is only a fraction of time but to Esther Musgrave it seemed longer than all the rest of her life put together. In three years she had become an entirely different person-or so she felt.</em></p><p>Following the death of her beloved husband, Esther believes she will never be happy again. But soon, her "natural buoyancy" and the problems and adventures of her three daughters-difficult, unmarried Delia, cheerful and practical Margaret, and young Kate just out of school-bring her pleasure and purpose anew. The local Dramatic Club's troubled new production, the arrival of an attractive widow with a hint of scandal about her, the return of Esther's long-estranged stepson, and Kate's perilous rendezvous with a young ne'er-do-well whom Stevenson fans will recognize from her earlier bestseller <em>The Tall Stranger</em>-all provide drama, laughter, and joy to the reader as well as to Esther herself.</p><p>First published in 1960 and set in the Cotswolds, <em>The Musgraves</em> is one of D.E. Stevenson's most lively and entertaining tales of family and village life. This new edition features an autobiographical sketch by the author.</p><p><br></p><p>"Miss Stevenson has her own individual and charming way of seeing things."
