When Will Hastie finally decides to retire from the military and return home to Scotland, he intends to settle down on his family estate and learn to become a farmer.

But back home, the death of his best friend and neighbour, Rae, during World War Two is still strongly felt. In particular, Rae's sister, Patty, has been brooding for the past 10 years over Rae's final latter home from France. When she decides to share the letter with Will, it sends him off to France to discover for himself the circumstances of Rae's death.

And his discovery there changes the lives of all those left behind...

D. E. Stevenson was born in Edinburgh, the daughter, granddaughter and great-granddaughter of civil engineers who designed many Scottish lighthouses. Her father was a first cousin of Robert Louis Stevenson. She was educated privately and travelled widely in France and Italy with her parents. She married a major in the Highland Light Infantry and moved with the regiment from place to place gaining valuable experience of life and people. Her first successful novel, Mrs Tim, was published in 1933.

A story about 2 prominent families & their interactions told in an interesting way.

I liked this book. It's nice to not have a weird murder or a crime ridden novel,or hear horror stories . It's a lovely little book to take to your recliner chair for a good little read in th e afternoon when you're sick of listening with horror to the news. A good getaway.

Two aging families try to adapt to the changing times in mid-1950s rural Scotland

You have to give Ms. Stevenson credit for trying to change it up in each novel she wrote. The main theme here may offend some readers, as you can see by one of the other reviews on this page. In rural Scotland, two neighboring estates are facing serious problems (the story is set circa 1955, and television is mentioned at one point). Some of the problems are economic, some are related to loss of an heir to one of the estates in the war, and some are related to lack of suitable partners for two characters who are of marriageable age. The mysterious last letter written by the charismatic heir killed in the war, whom all the other characters adored, leads the main male character to a tour of investigation in France, where he makes not one but two shocking discoveries about his deceased best friend. This happens about halfway through the novel, and the rest of the novel explores how the characters introduced in the first half have to deal with and adapt to what happened in France and how it impacts the two estates. The main "romance" is treated in a very perfunctory way, almost pushed entirely out of the book by the complex plot.

I enjoyed, as always, Ms. Stevenson's ability to create realistic characters who are generally (except for the villains) very far from stereotypes. I did find the main male character to be exceptionally slow on the uptake, but at least he's persistent, and his slowness is needed to keep the mechanics of the complex plot running smoothly.

Relaxing escape....

DE Stevenson is one of my favorite authors. YEARS ago in high school, I read her book, Mrs. Tim and loved it.
I didn't realize until just recently that she was the author and that I'd been reading her other books for the last couple of years.

If you enjoy escaping to another place and time, a kinder, gentler world, pick any of her books, and you will be addicted. Yes, you may guess the ending, but it's not about the plot; it's about the story and the story telling.
Always a pleasure to read her many works.

nostalgic romance wins over new crap ("I own a bookstore") style romance anyway

Reviewed in the United States on 2 February 2016

Of course a good romance, not the new "hey we're hip and I run a store selling dog treats.... blah blah..." romance style. This is real life, with good people (and some bad)

So fun!

I'm sure I have read this book before, but it was so many years ago that I didn't remember it so it was like a new D.E. Stevenson. I just love her gentle, sweet stories so much. There is no author I would rather relax with..... okay she's tied with Georgette Heyer.
