Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Book Club Edition. Sophie Willoughby remembers that magical English summer afternoon in the season of the King Edward VII's coronation and at the end of the Boer War; that dreamlike in time when the hedgerows were smothered in elder-flowers and the meadow air was sweet with hay making. With her brother, Edwin, and her sister, Lillian, Sophie listened to the seductive strains of the wild Russian violin tune Mr. Barshinskey played and watched spellbound as the ragtag Barshinskey family- Ivan, sullen and dirty; Mrs. Barshinskey, pale and withdrawn; and Galina, sensual, wanton beautiful- made their way across Tyler's meadow and into the Willoughby's world. The delighted Willoughby children could not know that this day and the Barshinskeys arrival would change their lives forever- much as a breathless Europe could not anticipate that in a few short years, winds of revolution and war would whip across continents, sweeping away the old, familiar way of life.
