- This is a story of young lovers suddenly confronted with the violence of their emotion and its irresistible demands. Penny Lorrimer's father was an Edinburgh lawyer, a lowlander who had muffled his highland wife until she was more staid and conventional than he. When Mr. and Mrs. Lorrimer said Penny was too young and refused their consent to her marriage with an unknown, penniless Londoner, it took more than her highland grandfather to change their minds.
David Bosworth was in his last year at Oxford and sure of high honors and a good job. But his father was an invalid and his sister expected David to support her when he had finished his last term. Selfishness and self-sacrifice, family loyalty and defiance, an independent spirit and subservience to convetion, all vie with each other to complicate the maze through which David and Penny must find their way. To follow them is to enter into the lives of two strong, direct, and very appealing young people.
