✦ Synopsis

‘Ah—there they were, the words to be expected, the immemorial words. Right to freedom. Words bound, thought father watching her icily, to occur sooner or later in the speech of persons whose ambitions outran their talents—usually disaffected female relatives.’ Since her mother’s death Jennifer has devoted years of her life to her father, managing the home and acting as his secretary. After the sudden announcement that he has remarried, Jennifer, at 33, seizes the opportunity to lead an independent life. With a humorous tone, this novel explores the familial and societal expectations placed on single women during the interwar years.
