Escape to the Cornish cliffs in the dizzying heat of August 1939, where five cousins are making the most of the last summer of their youth. Oliver is just back from the Spanish Civil War and world-weary at only nineteen. Calypso is gorgeous, utterly selfish and determined to marry for money. Polly and Walter, brother and sister, play their cards close to their chests. Then there's little Sophie, who nobody loves. Soon the world will be swept into war again and the five cousins will enter a whirligig of sex, infidelity, love and loss, but for now they have one last, gaspingly hot summer at the house by the cliffs with the camomile lawn. A beloved bestseller from an author ahead of her time, The Camomile Lawn is a waspishly witty, devil-may-care delight.

A friend "introduced" me to Mary Wesley as "turn about is fair play" because I got him on to Henning Mankell. (He didn't see the light of day until he had read them all!!!). My experience with Mary Wesley was the same. Her books gave me such joy in the writing itself, the stories, the insights. This woman is a treasure. I am about to start them ALL over again. Begin with CAMOMILE LAWN , and prepare to a rich adventure with Mary Wesley's art and imagination!
