Frank Crosse and Maude Selby fix their wedding date by letter, marry and set up house in the suburbs. Their first years together unfold in small episodes: keeping up appearances, a visit to Westminster Abbey, confessions, consulting Mrs. Beeton and reading Pepys aloud, with friends and relations adding an occasional chorus.
A gentle domestic novel that shows Conan Doyle far from Baker Street, for readers who enjoy quiet comedies of married life. Download the free EPUB.
