A โbeautifully told story of love and growthโ set in post-WWII South Africa (Booklist).
When disfigured soldier George Harding returns from the front, he moves a poor family into the servantโs quarters of his familyโs South African estate, saving them from financial ruinโand initiating a series of events that will change all of their fates forever.
ย
Among the new tenants at Hardingโs Rest is Cressida, a young girl haunted by phantoms of World War II and the Holocaust, and terrified by Hardingโs gnarled body. Invited to the main house to help bring Hardingโs hopelessly timid nephew out of his shell, Cressida makes an impression on her familyโs benefactor.
ย
As she blossoms into womanhood, Cressida slowly becomes beguiled by what once repulsed her, in this strange and beautiful decades-spanning novel that โblends Dickensian musings on class with a Brontรซ-like love storyโ (San Francisco Chronicle).
ย
โCressida, a young girl who watches those around her patch up their wounds from the war and carry on with the weight of pretense, is as observant and as wickedly truthful as any Jane Austen character.โ โAmy Tan
