A new era for women-and the Aubrey sisters-dawns in the trilogy that proves " what an extraordinary, and extraordinarily honest, writer Rebecca West was" ( The New York Times ). They have put down their schoolbooks and put up their hair, but a talented musician and her kin ponder what being a young woman on one's own will entail.
