This is my first Stevenson book. I have an old hardback book club edition. The picture on the dust jacket was deceiving. It put in my mind that the story was set in the 1800's or something because of the clothes the women had on. We're told the men were in the navy and a war had just finished but which war was never mentioned. As I read, wishing I knew what time the story was taking place in, I was envisioning people and dress from the 1800's. Then the movie Arsenic and Old Lace was mentioned and I knew it was WWII! I'd spent most of the book in the wrong century! Other than that annoying little problem I did enjoy this sweet little Kailyard.

Have since learned her books are usually set during the time period they were written in.
