Aprašymas
Escape to the Cornish cliffs in the dizzying heat of August 1939, where five cousins are making the most of the last summer of their youth.
Oliver is just back from the Spanish Civil War and world-weary at only nineteen. Calypso is gorgeous, selfish and determined to marry for money. Polly and Walter, brother and sister, play their cards close to their chests. Then there's little Sophie, who nobody loves.
Soon the world will be swept once more into war and the cousins will enter a whirlwind of sex, fear, survival and loss. But, for now, they have one last sun-drenched summer on the house by the cliffs with the camomile lawn.
A beloved bestseller from an author ahead of her time, The Camomile Lawn is a witty, seductive delight.
'So tingling and spry with life that put a mirror to the book and I'll almost swear it will mist over with the breath of the five young cousins' The Times
