Cassandra's father was once a famous writer, but now he mainly reads detective novels while his family slide into genteel poverty. Her sister Rose is bored and beautiful, and desperate to marry riches. Their step-mother Topaz has habit of striding through the countryside wearing only her wellington boots.

But all their lives will be soon be transformed by the arrival of new neighbours from America, and Cassandra finds herself falling in love...
