A decade after Laurel married Edward and her sister Janet wedded Rodney, one week is all it takes to unravel the couples' peaceful lives, as a long-concealed secret comes to the surface. The repercussions ripple through the families, hinging on the comic interventions of such figures as Edward's mother, scandal-ridden Lady Elfrida; Rodney's notorious rake of an uncle; and awkward teenager Theodora, who is keen to insert herself into the drama. Elizabeth Bowen once described her fiction as being about "life with the lid on and what happens when the lid comes off," and this comic 1931 novel is no exception.
