It is only a fraction of time but to Esther Musgrave it seemed longer than all the rest of her life put together. In three years she had become an entirely different person-or so she felt.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollowing the death of her beloved husband, Esther believes she will never be happy again. But soon, her \"natural buoyancy\" and the problems and adventures of her three daughters-difficult, unmarried Delia, cheerful and practical Margaret, and young Kate just out of school-bring her pleasure and purpose anew. The local Dramatic Club's troubled new production, the arrival of an attractive widow with a hint of scandal about her, the return of Esther's long-estranged stepson, and Kate's perilous rendezvous with a young ne'er-do-well whom Stevenson fans will recognize from her earlier bestseller \u003cem\u003eThe Tall Stranger\u003c\/em\u003e-all provide drama, laughter, and joy to the reader as well as to Esther herself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1960 and set in the Cotswolds, \u003cem\u003eThe Musgraves\u003c\/em\u003e is one of D.E.
