Summerhills (Ayrton Family Book 2)

Summerhills continues the story of the lives and loves of the Ayrton family, in particular that of Major Roger Ayrton M.C., his brother, and three young half-sisters.

Roger has made the Army his career. Anne has settled down as housekeeper to old Mr Orme, the rector. Nell looks after the old house, and it is upon her that the comfort and well-being of the family depend.

A new generation is growing up. The story begins as Roger flies home to Amberwell on leave, full of plans for his family and home.

This is the glowing story of the Ayrton familyâ€™s loves and triumphs at Amberwell, their beautiful estate in Scotland, in the years after World War II.

â€œFinding a re-issued novel by D. E. Stevenson is like coming upon a Tiffany lamp in Woolworthâ€™s. It is not â€˜nostalgiaâ€™; it is the real thing.â€â€” The New York Times Book Review
