In the raw aftermath of World War II, this is the story of the Wentworth family. It is the story of John Wentworth vicar of a church in Devon, England and his wife Daphne, who feels trapped in the vicarage. While John s great aunt lives in the dilapidated family manor house, their three daughters attend a dysfunctional school, captive among embattled staff and their headmistress.
