How they deal with the facts and confront the parties concerned,is the subject of this evocative and winsome period piece. The characters are drawn cleverly and with love .This look at what happens to the victims of old scandals leaves the reader anything but scandalized ,in fact sympathetic and more than a little amused.It is an intensely human story and an enjoyable book, good for light reading.
