If you are able to find a copy of this romance ( published in 1948 ) you will meet the delightful Lesley Frewen. A disappointment leads her to realizes that she has spent much of her life waiting rather than living fully. The story tells of her move to the country and adventures as she begins to understand and truly live and love her new life. Every time I pick this book up for a little reread I am drawn into the story anew and transported to the English village countryside.<br />Susan P.
