Spring came slowly to Underwoods. It was the most beautiful spring Barbie had ever seen, for after lingering in the shadows so long she was in love with life . . .
Barbie France has come home to Underwoods, the lovely Cotswolds house where she grew up, following a breakdown and a dreadful time in hospital. Barbie’s kind Aunt Amalie, her indomitable companion Miss Penney, and the beauties of nature aid her rapid recovery, only dampened by a troubled romance with Amalie’s stepson Edward, whom Barbie hasn’t seen in years and whose character seems to have changed. When Barbie returns to her successful career as a decorator, new challenges and pleasures await, include a delightful trip to a castle in Scotland, which bears fruit both professional and private.
First published in 1957, The Tall Stranger is a sparkling tale of a spirited, independent young woman finding her way in life, and the unforgettable characters and adventures she encounters along the way. This new edition features an autobiographical sketch by the author.
