Charlotte Dean enjoys nothing more than the solitude of her London flat and the monotonous days of her work at a travel bookshop. But when her younger sister unceremoniously bursts into her quiet life one afternoon Charlotte's world turns topsy-turvy. Beloved author D. E. Stevenson captures the intricacies of post-World War I England with a light comic touch that perfectly embodies the spirit of the time. Alternatively heart-breaking and witty The Young Clementina is a touching tale of love loss and redemption through friendship.
