Copyright date is 1981, but this very tame romance can't possibly have been meant to be set in that time period. 1961, maybe, with Natalie happy to set aside her entire life to cater to her spoiled brother. Charming dialogue, but no hint as to why Natalie and Henry are attracted to each other. The secondary characters are much more fun than the leads.
Enjoyable, gentle read with lots of charmingly eccentric characters in an English village setting. Sweetly old-fashioned and delightful.
