At Mrs Lippincote's

Alternate Cover Edition for ISBN10: 1844083098 (ISBN13: 9781844083091

Mrs. Lippincote's house, with its heavy furniture and yellowing photographs, stands for all the certainties that have vanished with the advent of war. And, temporarily, it is home for Julia. Regarded as a most unsatisfactory officer's wife, Julia has joined her husband Roddy at the behest of the RAF, along with her young son and Roddy's cousin Eleanor. The novel depicts all the hypocrisies and evasions inherent in marriage as the household undergoes the chance encounters and social flux of the war years. View Less
