Excerpt from Sally on the Rocks
The white flower of a blameless life availed you little; sooner or later Miss Maggie got hold of it, threw it in the mud, said in effect, Just look at this beastly thing! And held it up to the shocked gaze of the neighborhood.
Most people have something they would prefer to keep to themselves, not so much sin as folly some minia ture skeleton. Whatever it was, Miss Maggie with her gimlet eyes and corkscrew methods got it out of you.
It was she who discovered, within three days, that the new doctor and his wife had emerged from shops, and Mrs. Hill, who was given to what is called swank, had to walk humbly in Little Crampton thereafter. Miss Maggie also discovered though this took longer that the lawyer's new wife, who seemed so modest and quiet, had once kicked a lavish leg before the footlights.
As a matter of fact, Miss Maggie's discoveries would need a volume to themselves, and may be dismissed.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is set in the quaint but gossipy English village of Little Crampton, where life seems to move at a slower pace. The author delves into the intricacies of village life, exploring the complex dynamics of social class, the enduring power of tradition, and the constant pressure to conform to expectations. A young woman named Sally Lunton arrives in Little Crampton, seeking refuge from a difficult past and a perilous present. Sally, a descendant of a line known for its reckless behavior and wild passions, is struggling to find her place in a world that seems determined to judge her. As she navigates the social circles of the village, Sally finds herself caught between the allure of a seemingly respectable life and the siren song of her own rebellious nature. The author masterfully blends themes of social commentary with the timeless struggles of human nature. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of individuals navigating the complexities of love, loss, and the ever-present search for meaning and belonging in a world that can be both unforgiving and alluring.
