Anne and Lydia French arrive one spring twilight at Addington with their handsome, close-clipped stepfather, known in the family as the colonel, to make a home in a town they have long imagined. Its people, among them a man called Jeff and the flamboyant, fiery Madame Beattie, prove far less simple than the place looked from a distance.
