Spend a literary vacation with the Stevens family in this 1931 gem from playwright and novelist R.C. Sherriff, as they take their annual trek to the seaside resort of Bognor Regis. In their memories and reminiscences, their quiet reflections and their small pleasures, these five remind us what is important in everyday life, and don't be surprised if you miss them when the story ends.

"An absolute delight…. Sherriff's tender observations of the family dynamics, and the simple joy each of them takes in the highlight of their year, prove him to be an unrivaled master of the quotidian…. The novel exerts a spell, one that leaves us hanging on these characters' every word."—Paris Review
