The Laurels is the name of a remarkable house. It stands tranquil in its own beautifully tended grounds, a survivor of a gracious age in the aftermath of the Great War. It is owned and occupied by Miss Caroline Lumsden who now lives a quiet and orderly existence, ministered to by a few devoted servants. One of them, her housekeeper Annie is far more than a servant. Annie is both companion and confidante. This delightful, nostalgic, deeply emotional novel is the story of Caroline Lumsden, from the days of her youth amidst the fashionable and wealthy clique that flocked every year to the South of France, through her abortive love-affairs to her premature retirement from the social whirl. It is also the story of Annie, born into poverty, raised in the strict discipline of a termagant mother, for whom her employment by Miss Lumsden opens a world of beauty and kindness, a life of devotion to both mistress and house that becomes an obsession.
