Turning for Home

A cantankerous, elegant old woman sits in her beautiful Somerset house while her family secretly plots to evict her. In the garden is her last loyal retainer, out at grass, her one remaining racehorse, prematurely retired, and in London the man she probably should have married - still her dearest friend. Into this scene comes Maeve Delaney. Sole applicant for the job of companion to Lady Pamela, streetwise and outrageous, Maeve bursts into the old house like a firework. As open warfare settles into a wary truce between the two women, Maeve sets her heart on bringing the great racehorse, Irish Dancer, out of retirement, and everything changes.
