Summary:

Long before the loss of her twin sister Grace, Isabel Bolton's parents both died of cholera and their five children were raised by relatives. Bolton's prose captures the chaotic and unstructured life she and her siblings led, finding comfort in each other among the violet-scented meadows of their uncle's estate in New London -- until Grace's untimely death. First published in 1966, this extraordinary memoir is a classic evocation of childhood at the turn of the century.
