Overview
The Spring House artfully balances humor and devastation; at once a deftly written psychological portrait and a social document revealing the slow birth of the twentieth century and the new woman.

Is she to play the graceful daughter of the house, the anxious wife of a distant military man, the stoic nurse, the promiscuous London hostess, or some uneasy amalgamation of these staid identities? Gradually, as the war brings death and destruction to those closest to her, Miranda is offered a glimpse of something beyond these stilted roles - a chance at real love.Customers Also Bought
