Elsie, sheltered and naive, is seventeen and unhappy. Stifled by life with her bickering parents in a bleak Cornish village, she falls deeply in love with the first presentable young man she complies with - Peter, an ambitious London doctor. On his advice she operates abroad and goes to live with her sister Leonora, who escaped eight years previously.But there are surprises waiting for you for classic Elsie as her sister has a rather bohemian lifestyle: not only does Leo are in a houseboat on the Thames where she writes Westerns for a living, she stocks her vessel - and her foundation - with Helen. When Peter compensates a visit, turning his attention from one 'friendly young girl' to the next, he disturbs the sooth for each of them - with results unforeseen by all . . .Mary Renault composed this delightfully provocative book in 1943 partially in response to the despair characteristic of Radclyffe Hall's The Well of Loneliness. The effect is this witty and stylish social comedy.
