When her father dies, Laura Willowes moves into her brother’s London household and spends twenty years as the useful maiden aunt, arranging flowers and minding nieces. Then, in middle age, she buys a guidebook, moves alone to the village of Great Mop in the Chilterns, and discovers that the countryside, its odd inhabitants and the Devil himself have plans for her.
