About this book
In 1919, cousins Jane and Lucilla leave school expecting a secure future, only to discover that their guardian has squandered their inheritance. With a cottage and very limited funds remaining, they must invent a way to support themselves. Jane insists that their predicament should be treated as an adventure, and schemes involving flowers, paying guests, and prospective admirers soon follow. Nesbit turns financial uncertainty into an affectionate comedy about female resourcefulness, friendship, and the attractions and complications of independence. Country-house mishaps and romantic possibilities provide momentum, while the cousins' contrasting temperaments keep the story buoyant and companionable.
