As the solitary child of mild and gentle parents, Jane is fascinated and
astounded by her exotically European aunt, Dolly. Dolly’s ways are
certainly not her parents’ ways, yet she is an object of interest and
dread to her beleaguered relatives. It is clear that they have nothing
in common: Jane feels no affection for Dolly, and Dolly clearly dislikes
children. Yet the two are fated to go through life in uneasy harness,
until such time as their alliance is accepted by both as not only
inevitable, but as something of great value.
Unabridged.
Read by Fiona Shaw.
