Mary Westmacott - Absent in Spring

[Carolyn F.]

Originally published in 1944.

Returning from a visit to her daughter in Iraq, Joan Scudamore finds herself unexpectedly alone and stranded in an isolated rest house by flooding of the railway tracks. This sudden solitude compels Joan to assess her life for the first time ever and face up to many of the truths about herself. Looking back over the years, Joan painfully re-examines her attitudes, relationships and actions and becomes increasingly uneasy about the person who is revealed to her.

I've just borrowed this from the library. Never read of of Westmacott before but I'm quite looking forward to this one!

I can't wait to see what you think Deni!
