The quartet at the heart of this delightful novel are the four Gainsborough siblings beautiful but vain Lorna, ultrasensitive Adrian, natureloving Laurence and thoughtful, strange little Jenifer. We join them in 1900 four happy children at the heart of a loving family, idolizing their strikingly beautiful mother, shrinking from their emotionally damaged Aunt Lena and illtempered governess, Miss Marchant. As their world widens on the journey to adulthood through the advent of the motor car, the horrors of the First World, the trials and tribulations of unrequited love and unfulfilled dreams they must fight to keep that happiness. But with Lorna compelled to make everyone love her, Adrians artistic genius crippled by oversensitivity to criticism, and Laurence so intent on success in business that he forgets to really live, will Jenifers clearsighted pragmatism be enough to save them?A beautiful exploration of love and family, Quartet has a vivid cast of characters worthy of Elizabeth Gaskell and paints a wonderful, affectionate portrait of childhood to rival Cromptons Just William.
