The author is able to accurately depict feelings and surroundings, and the effect of surroundings on feelings. Her ability to attribute small behaviours to the internal landscape of the character is very revealing and enrages the reader in the situation being depicted; I remember doing similar things for similar reasons (to cover up embarrassment or fear for instance).
I am wondering if Beth (the author in the story) is based on Taylor.
"Interesting what two people can make of the same view."
"We see with our souls," said Bertram.
A quiet beautiful story of a summer in a harbour town in England, and the inner lives of the people there.
Is anyone else reading this book or any others by Taylor?
This author is becoming one of my favourites.

I read this year Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont which I highly recommend and am giving Taylor another go with this book.
