This is quite different from her other works, and is unusual in that it is not based on a painting. It is a study of two families brought together by their daughters in a cemetary visiting their respective families deceased. One family is quite well to do, the other aspiring yet middle class and conservative. The girls grow up during the suffragette movement, and it affects their lives in good and horrible ways.
Not one of Chevaliers top works, but an enjoyable read nonetheless. It was interesting to read about post Victorian domestic life, particularly the cumbersome traditions and dress associated with mourning.
