It was the start of the second year of lockdown. Where does it all start? I had to retrieve my old diary to remember how (on earth), in January 2021, I agreed to deliver, 15 months later, 90,000 words on Rachmaninov for publication this year. Words scuttle round your head at night and you wonder what possessed you. Decisions are made, anecdotes abandoned because of a plumbing disaster, a knock at the door or a burnt cake. A study of steam trains or tax systems or, in my case, the Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninov (I’ll come back to the spelling) will seep into the crevices of a writer’s daily existence even if the resulting text appears harnessed in cool objectivity. Unless it’s a kiss’n’tell, this truth may bypass the reader.

Rose is a lonely orphan who's thrown on the mercy of her father's extended family after his death.

This book and its sequel are one of my favourite feel-good duologies. And with a little courage and lots of adventures with her mischievous but loving cousins, Rose begins to bloom. Much to the horror of her aunts, Rose's forward-thinking uncle insists that the child get out of the parlor and into the sunshine. How could such a delicate young lady, used to the quiet hallways of a girls' boarding school, exist in such a spirited home? It is the arrival of Uncle Alec that changes everything. When Rose Campbell, a shy orphan, arrives at "The Aunt Hill" to live with her six aunts and seven boisterous male cousins, she is quite overwhelmed. |
