George Cranleigh, son of an old Surrey family on hard times, tells his own story of a summer when a nightingale’s song, a strange foreign visitor and the beautiful Dariel changed his life. The quiet comedy of Surrey farming, neighbours and village feuds gives way to a perilous journey into the Caucasus, among the warring hill peoples of Dariel’s homeland.
A late romance from the author of Lorna Doone, rich in his loving detail of English country life. Download the free EPUB.
