Críticas:

Molly Keane ... is robust about sinful human nature and the intrigues of the heart... (V.S. Pritchett)

Psychologically sharp, socially knowing and closely knit (IRISH TIMES)

The characterisation of women is first class (Sebastian Faulks)

She is akin to Jane Austen in her feeling for the minutae of human behaviour (Polly Devlin)

Reseña del editor:

In 1900 Lady Charlotte French-McGrath is mistress of Garonlea, a huge gothic house in Ireland. She rules her household and her family -- husband Ambrose and children Muriel, Enid, Violet, Diana and Desmond -- with a rod of iron. Desmond's marriage to the beautiful, lively Cynthia and, several years later, the onset of the First World War are the two events which finally, and irrevocably, break Lady Charlotte's matriarchal hold. Cynthia enters the Jazz Age and on the surface her life passes in a whirl of fox-hunting, drinking and love-making.

But the ghosts of Garonlea are only biding their time: they know the source of their power, a secret handed on from one generation to the next...
